Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Lokomat Robotic Gait Training System on motor, gait and range of motion (ROM) for stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods 80 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into treatment group (n=40) and control group (n=40). The control group accepted routine rehabilitation and the treatment group accepted robotic gain training. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment, gait parameter and ROM of hip and knee before training and after 10 weeks of treatment. Results There was no significant difference on all the index before treatment (P>0.05), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group after training (P<0.05). Conclusion Lokomat Robotic Gait Training System intervention can promote the recovery of walking in stroke patients with hemiplegia.
