Comparisons between Locomat and Walkbot robotic gait training regarding balance and lower extremity function among non-ambulatory chronic acquired brain injury survivors.Lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robots connect with the human body in a wearable way and control the movement of joints in the gait rehabilitation process.  This study indicates that both Locomat and Walkbot robotic gait training combined with conventional gait-oriented physiotherapy are promising intervention for gait rehabilitation in patients with chronic stage of ABI who are not able to walk independently.
Locomat
Comparisons between Locomat and Walkbot robotic gait training regarding balance and lower extremity function among non-ambulatory chronic acquired brain injury survivors.Lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robots connect with the human body in a wearable way and control the movement of joints in the gait rehabilitation process.  Among treadmill-based lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robots, Lokomat (Hocoma AG, Volketswil, Switzerland) has 4 actuated joints for bilateral hips and knees whereas Walkbot (P&S Mechanics, Seoul, Korea) has 6 bilateral actuated joints for bilateral hips, knees, and ankles.  Lokomat and Walkbot robotic gait training systems have not been directly compared previously.  The present study aimed to directly compare Lokomat and Walkbot robots in non-ambulatory chronic patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). Patients were divided into 2 groups: Lokomat (n = 28) and Walkbot (n = 34).  Baseline FAC score was 1 (0-2) in Lokomat and 1 (0-1) in Walkbot group.  Lokomat and Walkbot groups showed significantly enhanced BBS from 5 (2.75-24.25) and 15 (4-26.5) to 15 (4-26.5) and 22 (12-40), respectively (P < .05).  This study indicates that both Locomat and Walkbot robotic gait training combined with conventional gait-oriented physiotherapy are promising intervention for gait rehabilitation in patients with chronic stage of ABI who are not able to walk independently.
