No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Gait enables individuals to move forward and is considered a natural skill. However, gait disturbances are very common in patients with burn injury. Major causes of functional impairment are pain and joint contractures. Recent studies focused on the application of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy and investigate the mechanism of motor recovery after RAGT on patients with lower extremity burn.

Conditions

  • Burns
  • Gait Disorder, Sensorimotor

Interventions

DEVICE

Robot assisted gait training

SUBAR® (CRETEM, Korea) is a wearable robot with a footplate that assists patients to perform voluntary muscle movements. RAGT group received RAGT 5 sessions per week at duration 30 minutes with 30 minutes conventional physical therapy in 12 weeks.

OTHER

conventional gait training

even level gait training and range of motion exercises
