Overview

Brief Summary

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of robotic gait therapy for brain reorganization in hemiplegia patients.

Detailed Description

This study designed an interventional pre-post compared clinical study. The subjects received conventional physical therapy with Walkbot training (3 sessions per week for 7 weeks, 20 session). Before and after intervention all subjects evaluated using diffusion tensor imaging and clinical outcome measurements.
