Abstract

Lower extremity dysfunction after a stroke can vary from mild to extremely severe and significantly reduce the functional independence of patients. The restoration of walking is one of the key components of rehabilitation, it requires a balanced approach and the participation of a multidisciplinary team. In the last decade, new rehabilitation methods have appeared that meet high safety standards and have a minimum set of contraindications. One of the promising methods is robotic mechanotherapy. The article presents an overview of modern technologies of robotic mechanotherapy, its types and recommendations for use in medical rehabilitation.
