Stroke
Conditions
Brief summary
Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp)
Detailed description
There are different types of devices in robotic rehabilitation which has been used in recent years for stroke. Investigators aimed to compare the results of rehabilitation with an exoskeleton device(Robogait) and with an end-effector device(Lokohelp) in robot-assisted gait training of stroke rehabilitation
Interventions
Investigators will use robot-assisted gait training for rehabilitation of stroke
Investigators will use only conventional treatment without robot-assisted gait training
