Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the effects of 2 types of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) devices that have been used in stroke rehabilitation.

Design

Retrospective cohort.

Setting

Rehabilitation hospital.

Participants

24 community dwelling people with stroke (N=24).

Interventions

RAGT with either an exoskeleton (Lokomat) (mean age=53.8 years; 30% men; mean duration of stroke =17.8 months) or an end-effector (G-EO) (mean age=50.5 years; 77.8% men; mean duration of stroke =13.11) delivered 3 times per week (36 sessions total).

Main outcome measures

The following tests/scales were employed before and after RAGT: Functional Ambulation Categories (FACs), timed Up and Go (TUG), 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT
