Wearable hip-assist robot modulates cortical activation during gait in stroke patients: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Wearable hip-assist robot modulates cortical activation during gait in stroke patients: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Abstract Background Gait dysfunction is common in post-stroke patients as a result of impairment in cerebral gait mechanism. Powered robotic exoskeletons are promising tools to maximize neural recovery by delivering repetitive walking practice. Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate...
