Abstract
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) was initially developed based on the passive controlled (PC) mode, where the target or ideal locomotor kinematic trajectory is predefined and a patient basically 'rides' the robot instead of actively participating in the actual locomotor relearning process. A new insightful contemporary neuroscience and mechatronic evidence suggest that robotic-based locomotor relearning can be best achieved through active interactive (AI) mode rather than PC mode.
