Effects of gait exercise assist robot (GEAR) on subjects with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial

Improvement of gait ability is one of the primary goals in stroke rehabilitation.1 As a result, defining more effective interventions for increasing gait ability after stroke is essential. In recent years, robotic rehabilitation has been attracting a great deal of attention as a method for improving gait ability after stroke all over the world. The updated Cochrane review has shown that electromechanical-assisted gait training in combination with physiotherapy improves the acquisition of independent walking compared to gait training without such devices.
