| Core Tip |
Just five-minute end-effector type robot-assisted gait training with non-weight bearing on their feet and 100% guidance force may induce immediate strengthening of the knee flexor and extensor muscles. Moreover, it may even reduce the real-time use of the thigh and calf muscles. It may be a useful tool to strengthen the leg muscles in the elderly or in patients with musculoskeletal injuries. As for its underlying mechanism, author supposes the rapid brain and spinal plasticity in theory. |
