Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait therapy on locomotor recovery in hemiparetic patients after stroke.Method: Twenty five stroke patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. Robotic training group received 30 minutes of robot-assisted gait therapy, 3 times a week for 4 weeks, while control group received conventional gait training with same duration and frequency as robotic group. Outcome was measured using Motricity index, Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), function ambulation category, modified motor assessment scale, 10-meter gait speed, isometric torque, Ashworth scale, gait analysis, body tissue composition, and
