Introduction Spinal cord injury (SCI) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) may cause hemiplegia, paraplegia, or limb paralysis, as well as abnormal balance and gait. Patients with limb paralysis have muscle weakness, paresthesia, and joint stiffness. These patients have decreased functional ability and increased risk of falls, making it difficult for them to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) or live independently. Therefore, gait recovery is the goal of rehabilitation therapy for patients with paralysis. Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT), based on intensive repetitions of tasks, is widely used for improving stance and gait in paralyzed patients. Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves gait through biomechanical feedback and high-intensity repetitive walking in a real-like environment. WALKBOT (P&S Mechanics Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea), an exoskeleton-type robot system used for gait training, reduces the limitations of classical gait rehabilitation in paralyzed patie
Walkbot is a state-of-the-art lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robot that provides natural walking movements and various training programs for patients with walking disorders due to stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, etc
