Advanced Technology-Based Rehabilitation for Gait Relearning After Stroke
Sponsor: National Institute for Medical Rehabilitation, Hungary
Summary
High-tech therapy, an innovative field of neurorehabilitation, has expanded rapidly in recent years. Advances in technology have enabled the use of devices that can assist with movement development from simple movements to more complex tasks. This research investigates the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes that complement robot-assisted therapy to help people relearn to walk in post-stroke rehabilitation. This would be measured in two variations, with the patient (in addition to a complex rehabilitation programme of conventional physiotherapy, occupational therapy, hydrotherapy, etc.) receiving either treadmill or no treadmill treatment. In both cases, the therapies will be carried out with advanced technology-based equipment (both treatments are part of the daily routine of the Institute's treatments, and the equipment will be used according to the instructions in the user manual), the C-Mill interactive robot-assisted device will be used for treadmill therapy, and the Andago robot-assisted device for non- treadmill therapy. There is no sharp distinction between the two systems. The inclusion and exclusion criteria are set so patients' conditions meet the indications for both devices, and patients eligible for treatment with one device are included in the other. In our study, 80 patients will be selected.

Conditions
Interventions
Treadmill training
Therapy with treadmill-based advanced technology device.
Overground training
Therapy using an advanced technological device enables exercise on the ground.
DIERS
The examination starts and ends with the DIERS motion analysis system, a light-optical scanning method based on VRS (Video Raster Stereography) and a sensor-equipped treadmill that allows the measurement of several parameters of gait and balancing ability.
Traditional physiotherapy assessments
Traditional physiotherapy assessment methods (Timed Up and Go, Berg Balance Test, 6-minute gait test, 10-metre gait test, Functional Independence Measure, Barthel) are used to assess gait pattern and self-sufficiency.
