Effects of end-effector robot-assisted gait training on gait ability, muscle strength, and balance in patients with spinal cord injury.

Background: There is no randomized controlled study about the effects of end-effector robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Objective: To examine the effects of end-effector RAGT on gait and balance abilities in SCI.

Methods: Thirty-one patients were randomly assigned to the RAGT (Morning Walk®, Curexo, Seoul, South Korea) or conventional therapy (CT) group.

Effects on the Motor Function, Proprioception, Balance, and Gait Ability of the End-Effector Robot-Assisted Gait Training for Spinal Cord Injury Patients.

The primary aim of this study was to reveal the effects of end-effector robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on motor function, proprioception, balance, and gait ability in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). The secondary aim was to determine the correlation between clinical outcomes. This study was a prospective and multi-center study.

The Effects of VR-based Wii Fit Yoga on Physical Function in Middle-aged Female LBP Patients.

[Purpose] The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of a virtual reality-based yoga program on middle-aged female low back pain patients. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty middle-aged female patients who suffered from low back pain were assigned to either a physical therapy program or a virtual reality-based yoga program for a period of four weeks. Participants could check their posture and weight bearing on a monitor as they shifted their weight or changed their postures on a Wii balance board.
