Robot-assisted gait training in patients with various neurological diseases: A mixed methods feasibility study.

Journal: PloS one
PMID: 39190743

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Walking impairment represents a relevant symptom in patients with neurological diseases often compromising social participation. Currently, mixed methods studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with rare neurological diseases are lacking. This study aimed to explore the feasibility, acceptability, goal attainment and preliminary effects of RAGT in patients with common and rare neurological diseases and understand the intervention context and process.
