BACKGROUND: The recovery of walking after stroke is a priority goal for recovering autonomy. In the last years robotic systems employed for Robotic Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) were developed. However, literature and clinical practice did not offer ...
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 pa...
BACKGROUND: Gait rehabilitation using a footpad-type locomotion interface has been reported as effective in improving gait ability in chronic stroke patients. However, the effect on subacute stroke patients is unknown.
BACKGROUND: SUBAR is a new ground walking exoskeletal robot. The objective of this study is to investigate SUBAR-assisted gait training's effects in patients with chronic stroke.

Although robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill therapy is utilized on children with cerebral palsy (CP), its impact on the gait pattern in childhood is not fully described. We investigated the outcome of robotized gait training focusing on the gait pa...
Gait automaticity is reduced in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) due to impaired habitual control. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on gait automaticity as well as gait speed and balance i...

Our study aimed to confirm the therapeutic effects of using a trunk stabilization training robot (3DBT-33) in patients with chronic stroke. A total of 38 patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group...
BACKGROUND: Technology-based objective measures (TOMs) recently gained relevance to support clinicians in the assessment of motor function in Parkinson's disease (PD), although limited data are available in the early phases.
