Comparison Of Two Different Type Robot Assisted Gait Training In Rehabilitation Of Stroke

Comparison Of An Exoskeleton Device With An End-Effector Device In Robotic Gait Assesment Of Stroke

Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp)

There are different types of devices in robotic rehabilitation which has been used in recent years for stroke. Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp) in robot-assisted gait training of stroke rehabilitation

Inclusion Criteria:

• Rehabilitation need for stroke
• Patients under FAC stage 4
• No contraindications for robotic rehabilitation

• Inadequate body weight (obesity)
• Severe contractures
• Bone instability (nonstable spinal cord fracture and severe osteoporosis)
• Circulation problems
• Cardiac problems
• Open wounds on the lower extremities or in the body where they will come into contact with the orthosis
• Uncoordinated, psychotic or aggressive patients
• Serious cognitive disorders
• Patients with long-term infusion therapy
• Hip, knee, ankle arthrodesis
• Epilepsy
• Patients with disproportionate limb or vertebrae, such as bone cartilage dysplasia
• Those with severe vascular problems of the lower extremity
• Conditions requiring rest or immobilization, such as osteomyelitis and other inflammatory/infectious diseases
• Severe respiratory diseases
