Effect of Lokomat trainings on the severity of gait disorders in patients after stroke

Stroke is the one of the major causes of long-term disability.More than 50% of post-stroke patients have motor disorders ofvarious severity. In acute and subacute stage of stroke, in thepresence of motor disorders, abnormal synergies, known asWernicke-Mann posture, are developing rapidly, significantlydecreasing the quality of walking. In this article the effect ofrobotic therapy with the Lokomat system on the severity ofpathological synergies in 125 post-stroke patients is described.Clinical scales and video analysis motion capture system wereused for the assessment of clinical and biomechanical parametersof walking.
