Erenköy Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital
Brief Summary

Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp)

Detailed Description

There are different types of devices in robotic rehabilitation which has been used in recent years for stroke. Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp) in robot-assisted gait training of stroke rehabilitation

Exoskeletonrobot-assisted gait trainingFor stroke rehabilitation 5 days a week in addition to conventional treatment methods robot-assisted gait training (exoskeleton type-Robogait) will be taken with 45 minutes a day for 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Patients will be assessed with PASS, Rivermead mobility index, 10-meter walking test, 6-minute walking test, Barthel index, and FAC in terms of baseline and ending for posture, mobility, walking velocity, walking capacity, daily life activities and ambulance level.
