What this Trial Is About
This study aimed to investigate gait pattern and muscles power improvement of patient with gait disturbance caused by burns after end-effector type robot (Morning Walk®)-assited gait training (RAGT). This study randomly assigned 36 patients to one of two group : 30 minutes of Morning Walk® training with 30 minutes conventional physiotherapy (RAGT group) or 60 minutes of conventional physiotherapy (CON group). Five training sessions per week were given for 8 weeks. The primary outcomes were gait performance and muscles powers, which were assessed by the functional ambulation category (FAC) and the manual muscles test (MMT), respectively. The secondary outcomes included 6-minute walking test (6MWT), gait kinematic and spatiotemporal gait parameters. The results of this study is anticipated that the patients with gait disturbance receiving the RAGT might improve greater in gait performance and normal gait patterns that those trained with conventional physiotherapy.
