Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training is more effective in improving lower limb function and walking ability in stroke patients compared to conventional rehabilitation, but the neural mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the effects of robot-assisted gait training on lower limb motor dysfunction in stroke patients and its impact on neural activity in the motor cortex, providing objective evidence for clinical application.
