Robot-assisted gait training for trunk and gait asymmetry in chronic stroke patients
- Conditions
- Diseases of the circulatory system
- Registration Number
- KCT0009257
- Lead Sponsor
- Busan Veterans Hospital
- Brief Summary
The results of this study showed that the trunk symmetry was improved when repetitive training with a natural pattern was applied to stroke patients using a robot-assisted walking training device. In addition, it showed improvement in muscle strength of the paraplegic knee extensor muscle, which closely affects body alignment, and improvement in weight support in walking.
