Experimental
robot assisted gait training
Gait training using SUBAR® (Cretem, Korea) proceeded by adjusting parameters (gait speed, step length, and degree of knee flexion) according to the patient's leg length and gait function. The parameters were set to the maximum levels tolerated by the patient. The patients underwent 30 min of robot-assisted training using SUBAR® with 30 min of conventional physiotherapy, 5 days a week for 12 weeks.
