Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is a new technology to improve the lower limb motor function of stroke patients. Recovery of motor function after stroke is closely related to neuroplasticity in the motor cortex and associated motor areas. However, few studies investigate how rehabilitation robots affect the neuroplasticity of stroke patients.This study sought to determine the effects of lower limb exoskeleton robot walking training on neuroplasticity and lower limb motor function in patients with stroke.
