PurposeTo identify patient-centered selection criteria for exoskeletal wearable robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) by investigating predictors of satisfaction in subacute stroke survivors.Materials and MethodsIn this subgroup analysis of an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, 58 inpatients completed a 4-week RAGT program (20 sessions). Satisfaction was assessed using a modified 15-item QUEST 2.0 questionnaire across five domains (appropriateness, effectiveness, convenience, conformance, reliability). Predictors of the mean satisfaction score were analyzed using multiple linear regression.ResultsThe overall satisfaction questionnaire score was 3.9 ± 0.6 (out of 5). The effectiveness domain was rated significantly higher than other domains (p Trial details: ClinicalTrial.gov Identifier NCT05157347 (first registration (10/12/2021)).
