Over-ground and robotic-assisted locomotor training in adults with chronic stroke: a blinded randomized clinical trial

Abstract

Although walking measures did not show significant changes between groups, LE motor function and physical functional levels improved over time within both groups. The Lokomat(®) may allow aggressive locomotor training, particularly for the lower functioning patients who wish to improve walking ability due to apparent eased therapist physical burden, when compared to OGT, although an increased risk of skin breakdown is present.
