摘要
This is a pilot study into the feasibility and effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) provided with a mobile exoskeleton for over-ground walking practice. In total, 7 chronic stroke survivors were recruited and allocated to either the RAGT or a conventional therapy group. Both groups were provided with 16 additional hours of therapy, however clinical relevant improvements in walking ability were observed in the RAGT group only. Training was well-accepted and no adverse events occurred. Greater, well-designed trials are needed to confirm these preliminary results.
