简要总结

The primary aim of this study is to:

  1. Collect pilot data on the effect of task-specific lower extremity training using the Anklebot on subjects with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and who have foot drop;
  2. Collect pilot data on the use of combination therapy on improving gait in subjects with MS. This therapy will use both Anklebot training and robot-assisted gait training.

Hypothesis: Both trainings will result in improved walking performance, but the combination therapy will result in greater gains than ankle training alone.
