Summary

The robot assisted therapy is one of the new developed technologies for recovery after stroke. This study aimed to evaluating the effect of robotic gait therapy for motor recovery after stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Walkbot group

The physiotherapist typed patient's information then Walkbot would adjust itself to this data and the exoskeleton legs lengthen or shorten to the patient. The computer screen would provide information about speed, duration, cadence and distance. The monitor in front of the patient can offer image and feedback during the therapy process for patients. The whole Walkbot training process was observed by one physiotherapist and should be always ready to adjust the unloading, duration, speed and guidance force of Walkbot according to patients' different situation such as muscle spasticity, gait quality, labor-consuming and observe the changes of patients' state.

DEVICE

Control group

The control group received conventional functional rehabilitation for 40 min/session, 2 sessions/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks, 40 sessions in all. After 4-week intervention all subjects received conventional physical therapy only, 40 min/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks. During the test period, general rehabilitation and drug treatment can be done at the same time.
