简要总结
The overriding goal of this proposal is to identify the critical physiological and biomechanical effects of BWSTT for promoting improved locomotor function in persons with post-stroke hemiparesis.
详细描述
In this pilot study, we tested two forms of locomotor training for gait rehabilitation in persons post-stroke: traditional locomotor training (partial body-weight support and manual assistance of therapists) vs. robotic-assisted locomotor training (partial body-weight support and robotic guidance with the Lokomat). We enrolled 16 persons with chronic (>6 months) hemiparesis post-stroke who were randomized to traditional/manual or robotic locomotor training. All individuals received 12 sessions (thrice weekly for four weeks) of training. Each session involved 30 minutes of stepping.
The complete study results are published.
