Robot-assisted gait training will be performed using the Robogait robotic gait training system. Each 45-minute session will include 5 minutes of warm-up, 35 minutes of robotic gait training, and 5 minutes of cool-down exercises. Body-weight support, robotic assistance, and walking speed will be individualized according to each participant's clinical condition. Initial settings will consist of 50% body-weight support, 60% robotic assistance, and a walking speed of 1.5 km/h, with adjustments made as needed during treatment. Participants in the experimental group will receive robot-assisted physiotherapy 3 days per week for 8 weeks.

The conventional physiotherapy program will consist of individualized exercises aimed at improving trunk control, balance, mobility, and lower-extremity function. Each 45-minute session will include warm-up and cool-down exercises, range-of-motion and flexibility exercises, posterior pelvic tilt exercises, active and active-assisted lower-extremity exercises, gravity-resisted lower-extremity exercises, static and dynamic sitting balance exercises, weight-shifting exercises, and balance exercises using a balance board and exercise ball. Participants in the experimental group will receive conventional physiotherapy 4 days per week, whereas participants in the control group will receive conventional physiotherapy 7 days per week. Treatment will continue for 8 weeks.
