Abstract
BACKGROUND: Stroke related motor function deficits affect patients' likelihood of returning to professional activities, limit their participation in society and functionality in daily living. Hence, robot-aided gait rehabilitation needs to be fruitful and effective from a motor learning perspective. For this reason, optimal human-robot interaction strategies are necessary to foster neuroplastic shaping during therapy. Therefore, we performed a systematic search on the effects of different control algorithms on quantitative objective gait parameters of post-acute stroke patients.
