Implication

Retrospective analysis compares robot-assisted and conventional gait training outcomes in stroke patients, highlighting device-specific effects.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) compared to conventional treatment in stroke rehabilitation.
  • Retrospective cohort study including 2,947 patients with stroke receiving inpatient rehabilitation from 2015 to 2022.
  • Patients were divided into RAGT and conventional treatment groups, with outcomes measured using the Functional Ambulation Category.
  • Multivariable logistic regression and CART models identified predictors of favorable outcomes and device selection.
  • RAGT group had similar proportions of functional improvement (58.0%) compared to control (62.5%).
  • Devices Morning Walk (aOR = 3.25; 95% CI: 1.79-5.87) and Exowalk (aOR = 4.42; 95% CI: 1.84-10.64) showed significantly higher odds of positive outcomes.
  • The Erigo device was associated with lower odds of positive outcomes (aOR = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.35-0.96).
