Abstract
BACKGROUND: The rehabilitation of cognitive and behavioral abnormalities in individuals with stroke is essential for promoting patient's recovery and autonomy. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of robotic neurorehabilitation using Lokomat with and without VR on cognitive functioning and psychological well-being in stroke patients, as compared to traditional therapy.
