  Abstract Background Patients with hemiparetic stroke undergo direct, labor-intensive hands-on conventional physical therapy to improve sensorimotor function, spasticity, balance, trunk stability, and activities of daily living (ADLs). Currently, direct, intensive hands-on therapeutic modalities have increased concerns during the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. We developed an innovative Walkbot to mitigate the issues surrounding conventional hands-on physical therapy. Objectives We aimed to compare the effects of minimal-contact robotic rehabilitation (MRR) and full-contact conventional rehabilitation (FCR) on static and dynamic balance, trunk stability, ADLs, spasticity, and cognition changes in patients with hemiparetic stroke. Methods A total of 64 patients with hemiparetic stroke (mean age = 66.38 13.17; 27 women) underwent either MRR or FCR three times/week for 6 weeks. Clinical outcome measurements included the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), the Berg Balance Scale (B...
