Effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training on patients with burns: a preliminary study

Gait enables individuals to move forward and is considered a natural skill. However, gait disturbances are very common in patients with burn injury. Recent studies have emphasized the role of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in rehabilitation. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of RAGT on patients with lower extremity burn for the first time. 12 patients with lower extremity burns were included. SUBAR® (CRETEM, Korea) is a wearable robot with a footplate that assists patients to perform voluntary muscle movements. Patients underwent 30 min of RAGT using SUBAR
