Robot-assisted gait training has been investigated for restoring walking through
activity-dependent neuroplasticity in persons with various neurologic disorders.
This case report presents the outcome of robot-assisted gait training combined
with physiotherapy in a 28-year-old man with pure hereditary spastic paraplegia.
The patient participated in 25 training sessions over 6 weeks. Improvements were
noted in his walking speed and balance after the training, but gait kinematics
and kinetics showed no remarkable changes before and after the training.
Robot-assisted gait training may be useful for providing intensive gait training
in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia because the patient's walking
speed and balance improved after the training.
