Interventions

Medical Device : -Robot training method- Gait training is carried out using the gait assisted rehabilitation robot SUBAR® (CRETEM Co. Ltd, Anyang-si, South Korea). Before starting the robot-assisted g

s lower extremity by measuring the length from the hip joint to the knee and knee to foot. As a next step, put the patient&#39

s both legs into the SUBAR® exoskeleton and secure the thighs and lower legs. Gait speed can be adjusted in 5 steps from 1 to 5 depending on the degree of gait disorder of the patient, and appropriate

s muscle strength and joint motion angle. Gait training was administered to the treatment group for 30 minutes once a day, once a day, 5 times a week, and 8 weeks in 3 ways: in situ walking, forward w
