Summary

Rehabilitation robotics is increasingly used because it enables the patients to practice a wide array of movements. Dynamic balance training is essential for gait rehabilitation and robotised devices enhance repeatability, objectivity and precision of such training combined with monitoring and recording of kinematic and kinetic data. The aim of the study is to explore the effect of robot-assisted gait training on dynamic balance, symmetry and take-off in patients after stroke. The investigators will conduct a randomised intervention study where one group will receive visual feedback on gait status and the other group will receive kinetically-assisted training using a robotised device in addition to the visual feedback.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Standard gait training on BART without pelvic perturbations

The Balance Assisted Robot on Treadmill (BART) enables various types of gait training on treadmill with visual feedback. It interfaces to the pelvis of the walking subject in an actuated and admittance-controlled manner, thus providing transparent haptic interaction with negligible power transfer.

DEVICE

Robotised gait training with BART with pelvic perturbations

In addition to the standard gait training, the BART will deliver perturbations in the forward/backward and left/right direction.
