Description succincte (Anglais)	Advanced robotic gait training with additional degrees of freedom: towards a freewalking training system.
Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)	Recent clinical trials suggest that stroke survivors with severe gait impairment benefit from Lokomat gaittraining. Chronic stroke patients with mild to moderate locomotor deficits, however, require a training setup that challenges locomotor movement with more degrees of freedom than the current Lokomat system allows for. Pelvis and trunk movements need to be enabled to train weight shifting and balance. We therefore propose to augment the Lokomat system with additional degrees of freedom and with footplates that replace the treadmill and enable training of advanced gait pattern and balance. The efficacy of the two integrated modules will be evaluated in a single center clinical trial.
