Effect of gait training using Hybrid Assistive Limb on gait ability and the risk for overwork weakness in the lower limb muscles in patients with neuromuscular diseases: a proof-of-concept study

CONCLUSIONS: HAL gait training with the practical setting as this study improved gait ability in patients with progressive neuromuscular disease and did not damage skeletal muscle, as indicated by no significant change in serum level of muscle enzymes.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Robot assisted gait training could be safely applied to the patients with neuromuscular diseases, as one of the effective rehabilitation programs to improve gait ability.PMID:34105918 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.21.06387-5
