Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to identify the assistance effect of Ankle Assist Robot v1 developed by Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., Korea) by comparing

  1. gait function during overground gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot)
  2. the energy expenditure during treadmill gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot)

Arms & Interventions

stroke patients

Experimental

All participants perform overground walking and treadmill waking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot).

Intervention: Ankle Assist Robot (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change on gait speed in different three conditions

Time Frame: 20minutes

All participants perform overground walking in different three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot) to assess the change of gait speed using a motion analysis.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change on gait function in different three conditions (kinetic)(20minutes)
  • Change on metabolic energy expenditure in different three conditions(1 hour)
  • Change on gait function in different three conditions (muscle activation)(20minutes)
  • Change on gait function in different three conditions (kinematic)(20minutes)
