Ethical approval was obtained from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Istanbul Yeni Y\u00fczy\u0131l University (Approval No. 20.01.2022\/05; approval date: 20 January 2022). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation for 8\u00a0weeks; the RAGT group additionally received 24 sessions of RAGT. Kinesiophobia was a prespecified study outcome assessed using the Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS); balance, gait, and balance confidence were also assessed. All 60 randomized participants completed follow\u2010up and were analyzed in their assigned groups.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Significant group\u00a0\u00d7\u00a0time interactions were observed for several outcomes, including BBS, TUG duration, 10MWT walking speed, ABC, and KCS total score (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). The between\u2010group difference in change for KCS total score was \u22120.36 (95% CI: \u22120.51 to \u22120.21; partial eta squared\u00a0=\u00a00.292). In post hoc analyses adjusting each outcome for its baseline value, significant group effects remained for BBS, TUG duration, 10MWT walking speed, ABC, KCS biological domain, and KCS total score (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; = 0.031), whereas 10MWT step count and the KCS psychological domain were no longer statistically significant.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adding RAGT to conventional rehabilitation was associated with greater improvements in several balance, mobility, walking\u2010speed, balance\u2010confidence, and kinesiophobia outcomes compared with conventional rehabilitation alone. These findings suggest potential additional physical and psychological benefits of incorporating RAGT into post\u2010stroke rehabilitation. However, because the RAGT group received greater overall treatment exposure, the observed between\u2010group differences cannot be attributed solely to the robotic component. The principal contribution of this study is the concurrent evaluation of kinesiophobia and movement confidence alongside physical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
