Implication

Systematic review investigates repetitive gait training effects on walking recovery post-stroke, suggesting future research is needed.

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of repetitive gait training in enhancing walking recovery within three months after stroke.
Conducted a systematic search of clinical studies using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Rehab Data, and PEDro.
Included randomized controlled trials to analyze feasibility and compare repetitive gait training with conventional therapy.
Fifteen randomized controlled trials were included for review.
Repetitive training is safely provided using body weight support and robotic assistance with no reported differences in drop-out rates.
Meta-analysis indicated significant, yet small, improvements in walking independence and endurance.
Robotic devices showed higher effectiveness in facilitating walking practice early after stroke.
