Gait asymmetry in post-stroke patients is an important gait characteristic that is associated with their balance control, inefficiency, and risks of musculoskeletal injury to the non-paretic lower limb and falling. Unfortunately, most stroke patients retain an asymmetrical gait pattern, even though their gait independence and gait speed improve. We describe the clinical course of a subacute stroke patient who achieved a symmetrical gait at discharge after undergoing both gait training with orthoses and robot-assisted gait training from the early intervention phase.

This case report describes a woman in her 50s with a rare coexistence of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myasthenia gravis (MG), highlighting the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic considerations. Initially diagnosed with acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive MG, she later developed progressive visual impairment, leading to a diagnosis of NMOSD. Rituximab treatment was effective in managing both conditions, demonstrating the benefits of targeted therapies in reducing complications related to polypharmacy.
