The Effect of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Gait Function, Balance, and Activities of Daily Living in Stroke Patients
This study compared the effects of robot assisted gait training (RAGT) and manual gait training (MGT) on improving functional gait ability and balance in stroke patients. Forty stroke patients, one year or less from onset, were randomly divided into an RAGT group (n=20) and an MGT group (n=20). Both groups received 30-minute training sessions three times per week for four weeks (total 12 sessions). Functional gait ability, balance, and daily living activity performance were assessed before and after training using the Korean version of modified barthel index (K-MBI), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Berg balance scale (BBS), and 10 meter walk test (10MWT). Homogeneity between the groups was confirmed at baseline (p>.05). Both RAGT and MGT groups showed significant improvements across all outcome measures post-training. However, a comparison of the change scores revealed that the RAGT group showed statistically significantly greater improvements in the K-MBI, FAC, BBS, and 10MWT post-training scores than the MGT group (p<.05). RAGT is a more effective training method than MGT for enhancing functional gait ability, balance, and activities of daily living in stroke patients. This provides a basis for the effective application of robotic rehabilitation therapy in clinical settings.
