Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Numbers of research have reported the usage of robot-assisted gait training for walking restoration post-stroke. However, no consistent conclusion has been reached yet about the efficacy of exoskeleton robot-assisted training (ERAT) on gait function of stroke survivors, especially during the chronic period. We conducted a systematic review to investigate the efficacy of ERAT on gait function for chronic stroke survivors.
