Gait rehabilitation using mechanical perturbations on the unimpaired leg to provide therapy to the impaired
In the United States alone there are over 795,000 new strokes each year. 90% of stroke survivors require therapy, but a vast majority of these patients are only able to achieve minimal functional recovery five years after their stroke. Robot-assisted therapy is a cutting-edge technique which is expected to improve patient outcome because robots can...

Patients with neurological conditions such as stroke often have weakness on one side of their body. This can cause the patient to walk with an abnormal gait. One leg may move more slowly than the other and the length of the stride on one side of the body may be shorter than the other side. Rehabilitation of the abnormal gait is important to the patient...
