Adding robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) to a stroke rehabilitation program soon after the event maximizes the patient's ability to walk independently. Robotic gait devices allow the therapist and ...

Researchers are developing a robotic exoskeleton platform that could overcome the limitations of treadmills used during the rehabilitation of the many stroke survivors who have problems walking. More ...

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide, affecting millions each year. Among its most debilitating consequences is gait impairment, which affects over 80% of stroke ...

A University of Illinois at Chicago researcher will test whether brain stimulation combined with gait training can improve patients' ability to walk after a stroke, under a $1.5 million grant from the ...

Kessler research team reports advances in inpatient rehabilitation for acute stroke; findings indicate early intervention using the robotic exoskeleton for high-dose gait training may improve function ...

A team of New Jersey researchers has demonstrated that high-dose therapy gait training using robotic exoskeletons may aid early rehabilitation for acute stroke. The article, "Robotic exoskeleton gait ...

This review sought to give more information about the types of treadmill training that might be beneficial for patients with Parkinson disease and other neurological disorders engaged in physical ...

High-intensity step training resulted in better improvements in walking, gait and balance confidence compared with low-intensity training, in patients with chronic stroke. “The primary take-home ...

High-intensity step training that mimics real-world conditions could better promote walking ability after a patient experiences a stroke compared with traditional, low-impact training, new research ...

Researchers report advances in inpatient rehabilitation for acute stroke. Their findings indicate early intervention using the robotic exoskeleton for high-dose gait training may improve function.
