The Effect of Robot-assisted Gait Training using Functional Electrical Stimulation and Auditory Stimulation on Balance and Gait Abilities for Stroke Patients

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training using Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and auditory stimulation on balance and gait abilities in stroke patients.METHODS: Seventy-five stroke patients were randomly divided into three groups.: Robot-assisted gait training using Functional electrical stimulation Group (RFG) (n = 25), Robot-assisted gait training using Auditory stimulation Group (RAG) (n = 26) and control group (n = 24).Both groups using the robotic device received robot-assisted gait training
