- Brief Summary
The Effect of Robot Assisted Gait Training in Patients With Infratentorial Stroke
- Detailed Description
The hypothesis is to determine the robotic gait training would be better than conventional therapy regarding the postural balance.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale at 4 Weeks Baseline and 4 weeks from baseline Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline Scale for the assessment and rating for infratentorial stroke
Berg Balance Scale Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life
Trunk impairment scale Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline Trunk impairment scale performs to evaluate the sitting balance and trunk control ability examining static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination
Functional Ambulation Category Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline Categorizes patients according to basic motor skills necessary for functional ambulation. It represents the status of ambulation
Balance test using force plate Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline Each subject performs the following four tasks resembling Romberg test: standing with their feet positioning with the distance between their shoulders with eyes open (FSEO) or closed (FSEC), and standing with their feet together with eyes open (FTEO) or closed (FTEC). Each task is performed for 20 seconds and repeat for three times.
10m walk test Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline 10m walk test is used to examine gait speed, in which participant was asked to walk on a 14 meter of walkway wearing harness with two conditions; with the fastest speed or with self-selected comfortable speed
Fugl-Meyer Assessment Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline Fugl-Meyer Assessment uses to examine the motor function and coordination of affected lower extremity
Korean version of Falls efficacy scale Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline Asseses perception of balance and stability during activities of daily living Assesses fear of falling in the elderly population
