| Summary / Zusammenfassung | Treadmill training has been used for rehabilitation in spinal cord injured patients. In the last years, the manually assisted treadmill training has been introduced also to other patient groups, e.g. hemiplegic patients. The aim of this project is to adapt the existing driven gait orthosis "Lokomat" designed for SCI patients to the needs of hemiplegic patients. |
