Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke

Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: The main objective of this systematic review is to investigate the effect of automated electromechanical and robotic‐assisted gait training devices (with body weight support) in improving walking after stroke. The primary outcomes will be recovery of independent walking, and the secondary outcomes will be improvement in walking speed and gait capacity and recovery in ability to perform activities of daily life.
