Direction for future research
stroke, sensory deficits
STROKE
The present study aimed to study the safety and efficacy of a novel overground robotic gait trainer in patients with stroke. A controlled trial, larger sample size and further stratification with regard to age, associated sensory deficits etc. would be the way forward to establish the advantage of this device over the other methods and contraptions for gait training. Longitudinal study would help in looking for the sustainability of gains made by training with the MARS. Instrumental gait analysis may give information regarding the impact of overground robotic training on electromyographic activation patterns while training with MARS.
