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.
In the last decade, rehabilitation technology has been developed, investigated, and entered specialized clinical settings. In this chapter, we first discuss the potential of rehabilitation technology to support the achievement of key factors in motor...
