Overview

Brief Summary

  1. Study objective To evaluate the effect of robotic-assisted gait training combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as compared to that of robotic-assisted gait training on gait function of chronic stroke patients

  2. Subjects chronic stroke patients with gait impairment

  3. Methods

    • Group 1: Robotic-assisted gait training with anodal tDCS (45 min)
    • Group 2: Robotic-assisted gait training with sham tDCS (45 min)
    • Duration of treatment: 2 weeks, 5 times a week
    • Evaluation: Baseline, 1 day after the treatment, 4 weeks after the treatment
