In the researchers' words
The GangTrainer GT I and the Lokomat have proven their effectiveness on stroke Patients, but a comparison on the same controlled study population has not been made so far. Aim of the study will not only be to establish which device will work better on acute, non ambulatory stroke Patients in terms of regain of gait ability and motor function, but also clinical matters, like the efficacy of the treatment period. As a result of the trial it should be highlighted which kind of therapy has to be suggested for Patients comparable to the study population. A significant better outcome of one device in regard to the other will suggest to use one device more than the other for future treatments.
