The use of the HAL suit forced the patients
and their therapists to pay more attention to several factors
involved in walking such as raising the lower extremities,
stride length and walking speed. On the other
hand, the use of the HAL suit in patients with severe
hemiplegia may contribute not only to improved walking
while wearing the HAL suit but also to the learning
involved in the adoption of a new gait pattern while
walking after removal of the HAL suit.
