Efficacy of Robot-Assisted Gait Training Combined with Robotic Balance Training in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT: Recently, the use of robotic technology in gait and balance rehabilitation of stroke patients has been introduced, with positive results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of robotic gait and trunk rehabilitation compared to robotic gait training alone on balance, activities, and participation measures in patients with subacute stroke. The study was a randomized, controlled, single blind, parallel group clinical trial. Thirty-six patients with first ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke event were enrolled, and they were randomized in two groups: Gait Group (GG), where they received only robotic treatment for gait rehabilitation through an end-effector system, and Gait/Trunk Group (GTG) where they performed end-effector gait rehabilitation and balance with a robotic plat
