On the role of visual feedback and physiotherapist-patient interaction in robot-assisted gait training: an eye-tracking and HD-EEG study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Treadmill based Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (t-RAGT) provides for automated locomotor training to help the patient achieve a physiological gait pattern, reducing the physical effort required by therapist. By introducing the robot as a third agent to the traditional one-to-one physiotherapist-patient (Pht-Pt) relationship, the therapist might not be fully aware of the patient's motor performance. This gap has been bridged by the integration in rehabilitation robots of a visual FeedBack (FB) that informs about patient's performance. Despite the recognized importance of FB in t-RAGT, the optimal role of the therapist in the complex patient-robot interaction is still unclear. This study aimed to describe whether the type of FB combined with different modalities of Pht's i
