Summary

The aim of this study was to identify the assistance effect of Ankle Assist Robot v1 developed by Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., Korea) by comparing 1. gait function during overground gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot) 2. the energy expenditure during treadmill gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot)

Conditions

• Stroke
• Gait, Hemiplegic

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ankle Assist Robot	1. overground walking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot). During overground walking, gait function was measured using motion analysis, sEMG, and force plate 2. treadmill waking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot). During treadmill walking, the metabolic energy expenditure was measured using a portable cardiopulmonary metabolic system (Cosmed K4b², Rome, Italy).
