Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, significantly impacting patients' mobility and quality of life. Robot-assisted gait therapy (RAGT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have individually shown potential in improving gait function in chronic stroke patients. This study investigated the potential effectiveness of combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with robot-assisted gait therapy (RAGT) to enhance gait, balance, and lower limb function in patients with chronic stroke.
