Effects of Overground Robot-Assisted Gait Training and Recumbent Bicycle Training on Muscle Characteristics, Falls Efficacy, and Physical Function in Patients With Subacute Stroke-Related Sarcopenia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Overground Robot-Assisted Gait Training (o-RAGT) and Recumbent Bicycle Training for Stroke and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This single-center randomized controlled trial evaluates the effects of combining overground robot-assisted gait training (o-RAGT) with recumbent cycling (RC) compared with RC alone in patients with subacute stroke at risk of sarcopenia. The study examines changes in muscle characteristics (muscle mass and quality), falls efficacy, and physical function following a 4-week intervention. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either combined o-RAGT and RC or RC alone. The findings aim to inform the potential role of overground robot-assisted gait training as an adjunctive intervention in stroke rehabilitation.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This intervention consists of overground robot-assisted gait training (o-RAGT) performed using the Angel Legs M20 wearable exoskeleton (Angel Robotics, Seoul, Republic of Korea). Participants perform structured overground walking practice with robotic assistance during scheduled training sessions. The device is used to support repetitive, task-specific overground gait practice under supervised clinical conditions.
Participants perform recumbent bicycle training using a stationary recumbent cycle ergometer (DRAX TBR9000, Republic of Korea). Training is conducted in a seated position with lower-extremity pedaling at a prescribed intensity. Each session is performed according to the study protocol under supervised clinical conditions.
