Evaluation of Gait Rehabilitation Robot of an End-Effector on Neuro-Muscular Pathway in Patients After Knee Arthroplasty

Multi-Modalities Evaluation of Gait Rehabilitation Robot of an End-Effector on Neuro-Muscular Pathway of the Proximal Muscles in Patients After Total Knee Arthroplasty

The aim of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of gait rehabilitation robot through cortico-spinal-muscular pathway activation of the muscles remotely located from the end-effecter in patients after total knee arthroplasty.
