Effectiveness of lower limb robotic rehabilitation on peak of oxygen uptake among patients with stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the effectiveness of lower limb robotic rehabilitation (LLRR) on cardiovascular health among individuals with stroke undergoing rehabilitation.

Design

Systematic reviews and meta-analysis.

Data sources

PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wangfang and VIP databases were searched from inception to 9 October 2023.

Eligibility criteria

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving LLRR among individuals with stroke were included. We considered the potential impact of LLRR on the resting heart rate (HRrest), peak of oxygen uptake (VO₂peak), peak of systolic blood pressure (SBPpeak) and peak of diastolic blood pressure (DBPpeak). Only studies published in Chinese or English were in
