Abstract
Rehabilitation robot positively improves walking ability of patients with gait disorders. Over the last decade, rehabilitation robot devices replaced the training of overground and treadmill. In this paper, our discussion focuses on exoskeleton robot and end-effector robot. The purpose of this study was to compare the training methods, gait Kinematic trajectories and muscle activity patterns on subjects when training on exoskeleton robot and end-effector robot.
