ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of robotic gait rehabilitation using the R-BOT PRO on cognitive and physical functional recovery in stroke patients. METHODS: Six participants underwent an 8-week robotic rehabilitation program, with 30-minute sessions conducted five times weekly. To assess the intervention's effectiveness, six tests were administered before and after rehabilitation, including the Manual Muscle Test, Mini-Mental State Examination, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, Modified Barthel Index, Functional Ambulation Category, and Berg Balance Scale. Statistical analysis using paired t-tests was performed to evaluate pre- and post-intervention changes. RESULTS: Significant improvements were found in most variables, except for the manual muscle tests of the upper extremities (p < .05). The National Health of Health Stroke Scale and Modified Barthel Index showed particularly strong improvements (p < .01). The pre-measurement mean of the Functional Ambulation Category increased from .83 ± .98 to 1.83 ± .98 post-measurement, indicating a significant enhancement in ambulation (p < .05). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the robotassisted orthotic device R-BOT significantly improves stroke recovery outcomes, particularly in physical function and cognition. This study underscores the potential of robotic therapeutic devices as valuable tools in stroke rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of ongoing research to further explore their effectiveness and potential to replace or supplement existing treatment modalities.
