Does robot-assisted gait training represent a true advancement in post-stroke walking rehabilitation?

Without evidence of clear additive value, the continued emphasis on RAGT may reflect technological enthusiasm more than therapeutic necessity. The field must reconsider its priorities, redirecting research efforts toward optimizing scalable, high-intensity TOGT that aligns more closely with real-world functional recovery. Future research should prioritize direct comparisons between RAGT and optimized TOGT, with a stronger focus on outcomes that matter to patients.

Abstract

Without evidence of clear additive value, the continued emphasis on RAGT may reflect technological enthusiasm more than therapeutic necessity. The field must reconsider its priorities, redirecting research efforts toward optimizing scalable, high-intensity TOGT that aligns more closely with real-world functional recovery. Future research should prioritize direct comparisons between RAGT and optimized TOGT, with a stronger focus on outcomes that matter to patients.
