Use of Lower-Limb Robotics to Enhance Practice and Participation in Individuals With Neurological Conditions.

CONCLUSIONS: Use of these devices is limited by insufficient data, cost, and in some cases size of the machine. However, robotic technology is likely to become more prevalent as these machines are enhanced and able to produce targeted physical rehabilitation. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: Therapists should be aware of these technologies as they continue to advance but understand the limitations and challenges posed with therapeutic/mobility robots.
