Mobility and functional outcomes

upin humans1

1 study

  1. Robot-assisted walking therapy improves mobility and functional outcomes in humans (p < 0.001).

    “Barthel index, Berg Balance Scale, 10-m walking speed, the distance while walking with and without the robot for six minutes, and center pressure velocity in standing improved most after ROB (all p < 0.001)”

1 study

  1. Robot-assisted walking therapy improves modified Rankin Scale in humans (p < 0.05).

    “Modified Rankin Scale (primary outcome), improved (p < 0.05) after ROB and WTT vs. STT.”
