A Case with Left Hemiplegia after Cerebral Infarction with Improved Walking Ability Through Robot-assisted Gait Training Combined with Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Foot Drop
The combination of a gait training-assist robot and a neuromuscular electrical stimulator for foot drop facilitated dorsiflexion of the ankle during the swing phase, allowed the patient to practice walking with minimal assistance. This promoted active patient-led walking and more efficient motor learning, ultimately leading to independent walking.
