Brief summary
The Effect of Robot Assisted Gait Training in Patients With Infratentorial Stroke
Detailed description
The hypothesis is to determine the robotic gait training would be better than conventional therapy regarding the postural balance.
Interventions
OTHERRobot, then conventional training
Robot assisted gait training from the baseline, then conventional gait training at 4 weeks after baseline
OTHERConventional, then robot training
Conventional gait training from the baseline, then robot assisted gait training at 4 weeks after baseline

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale at 4 Weeks | Baseline and 4 weeks from baseline | Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Trunk impairment scale | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | Trunk impairment scale performs to evaluate the sitting balance and trunk control ability examining static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination |
| Functional Ambulation Category | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | Categorizes patients according to basic motor skills necessary for functional ambulation. It represents the status of ambulation |
| 10m walk test | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | 10m walk test is used to examine gait speed, in which participant was asked to walk on a 14 meter of walkway wearing harness with two conditions; with the fastest speed or with self-selected comfortable speed |
| Berg Balance Scale | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life |
| Korean version of Falls efficacy scale | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | Asseses perception of balance and stability during activities of daily living Assesses fear of falling in the elderly population |
| Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | Scale for the assessment and rating for infratentorial stroke |
| Balance test using force plate | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | Each subject performs the following four tasks resembling Romberg test: standing with their feet positioning with the distance between their shoulders with eyes open (FSEO) or closed (FSEC), and standing with their feet together with eyes open (FTEO) or closed (FTEC). Each task is performed for 20 seconds and repeat for three times. |
| Fugl-Meyer Assessment | Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline | Fugl-Meyer Assessment uses to examine the motor function and coordination of affected lower extremity |
