The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of intensive Body Weight Support Treadmill Training (BWSTT) on the neuroendocrine system and functional recovery in patients during the subacute phase of ischemic stroke. The investigators aim to determine how structured locomotor training influences the concentration of selected neurohormones and how these changes correlate with improvements in gait and balance. Participants undergo a 3-week intensive rehabilitation program, with assessments performed before and after the intervention to identify biomarkers of recovery.
