Stroke Patients' Preferences for an Exoskeleton for Lower Limb Rehabilitation Using the DCE Method (EXOPREF)

The main aim of this study is to investigate the preferences of individual stroke patients for key features of an exoskeleton, intended for lower limb rehabilitation, with a view to its potential integration into the design of future exoskeletons. This will be a multicenter study. Patients will be presented different scenarios of choices about the attributes about gait exoskeleton.

Conditional logistic regression models will be used to define the preferences of the subjects.
