In the researchers' words
Gait enables individuals to move forward and is considered a natural skill. However, gait disturbances are very common in patients with burn injury. Major causes of functional impairment are pain and joint contractures. Recent studies focused on the application of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy and investigate the mechanism of motor recovery after RAGT on patients with lower extremity burn.
