Abstract
A patient with stroke, severe hemiplegia, and limited potential for independent walking was able to achieve a modified level of independent walking after a cumulative 100 km of gait training using lower‐limb orthoses. Patients with limited potential for independent walking may benefit from sufficient gait training.Keywords
