Effects of Control Strategies in Wearable Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robots
Post-stroke patients were required to complete a session of robot-assisted training, which involved nine repetitions of 5-meter overground walking (three trials for each of the three controllers) in a rectangular hospital corridor.
Inclusion: Stroke patients aged between 18 and 75 years. Patients who are medically stable and able to stand and walk independently for at least 10 meters during rehabilitation; Stroke event occurred at least 3 months ago Patients with impaired lower limb motor function but with some degree of muscle activity in the lower extremities; Patients without severe cognitive impairment and capable of understanding and following the treatment protocol; Patients without severe balance or coordination disorders, able to maintain balance and perform gait training with assistive devices; Patients without lower limb fractures or other serious skeletal issues affecting the lower limbs; Patients without severe cardiovascular or other serious illnesses and able to tolerate the intensity and duration of rehabilitation therapy; Patients willing to participate in the study and able to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion: Lower limb fractures or other serious skeletal issues that may impact the suitability and safety of robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy; Patients currently receiving other rehabilitation or experimental treatments. Patients with skin ulcers, infections, or other severe skin conditions that may interfere with the use and application of robotic devices; Unexplained discomfort or pain symptoms that may limit the patient's ability to participate in rehabilitation therapy; Severe cognitive impairment that prevents the patient from understanding or complying with the treatment protocol; Severe balance or coordination disorders that prevent the patient from maintaining balance and participating in gait training, even with assistive devices; Other serious motor disorders, such as abnormal muscle tone or ataxia, which may interfere with the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy; Active cardiovascular disease or other serious systemic illnesses that may affect the patient's safety or treatment outcomes; Failure to meet other specific inclusion criteria outlined in the study protocol.
