Official title:
Uses of Robotic Constraint Lokomat Training on Gait Rehabilitation in Saudi Females Patients With Stroke- A Randomized Controlled Study
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a lokomat training on gait performance in Saudi females with stroke. Design: A-Single blind randomized controlled trial. Methods: 28 females patients with stroke will be enrolled in this thesis (6-12 months after stroke); the patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups of 14. Robotic-assisted gait training group (RG) will receive Lokomat gait training and conventional physiotherapy, while the other group is a control group (CG) will receive conventional physiotherapy. Duration of treatment will be 3 months. The lower limb joint range of motion, Balance, activities of daily living, walk speed, muscle tone of the lower limbs will be recorded before and after treatment and will compared between both groups.
