Summary

The aim of this study is to compare conventional neurorehabilitation with robot-assisted gait training program in terms of fatigue, anxiety, depression and quality of life.

Detailed description

Gait disturbances are common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Nowadays, gait training with robot assisted technology is used for rehabilitation. In several studies conventional rehabilitation was compared with robot assisted rehabilitation program, and they found no superior effects of robot assisted walking program. In this study we aimed to compare these modalities in terms of fatigue, anxiety and quality of life.

Conditions
