Abstract

BACKGROUND: Poststroke gait disorders negatively impact activities of daily living. Rehabilitation for stroke patients is aimed at improving their walking ability, balance, and quality of life. Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is associated with an increased number of task-specific exercises, which may benefit poststroke motor learning. We investigated the effects of RAGT using Stride Management Assist (SMA, which increases walk ratio by inducing hip-joint flexion and extension) in subacute stroke patients with hemiplegia.
