Effects of Virtual Reality-Based Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Gait Ability and Activities of Daily Living in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury
This study aimed to investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training using a virtual reality program on gait ability and activities of daily living in patients with spinal cord injury. A total of 20 patients with spinal cord injury participated in this study. The participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=10) or the control group (n=10). All participants received conventional physical therapy, while the experimental group additionally received robot-assisted gait training using a virtual reality program for 20 minutes. The outcome measures included the TETRAX balance assessment, the 10-meter walk test, and the Modified Barthel Index. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention. After the intervention, both the experimental and control groups showed significant differences in the TETRAX balance assessment, the 10-meter walk test (10MWT), and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) compared with pre-intervention values (p<.05). In addition, significant differences were observed between the two groups after the intervention in the 10MWT (p<.05). These findings suggest that robot-assisted gait training using a virtual reality program may have positive effects on balance ability, gait ability, and activities of daily living in patients with spinal cord injury. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the generalizability of these findings.
