Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of our randomized controlled clinical trial was to analyze the effects of robotic-assisted gait training and body-weight-supported treadmill training on gait analysis parameters and lower extremity agonist and antagonist muscle activities in stroke patients and to compare their effectiveness in improving locomotor function. The main questions that the researchers aimed to answer are: What are the effects of robotic-assisted gait training and body-weight-supported treadmill training on gait analysis parameters in stroke patients? What are the effects of robotic-assisted gait training and body-weight-supported treadmill training on lower extremity agonist and antagonist muscle activities in stroke patients? What is the effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training and body-weight-supported treadmill training in improving locomotor function in stroke patients? The patients included in the study were randomly divided into three groups: The first group received robotic-assisted gait training with RoboGait, the second group received body-weight-supported gait training on a treadmill with RehaWalk, and the third group received conventional walking training.
