Impact of End-Effector Device on Gait Restoration in Children Suffering from Neurological Disorders

  • Authors: Co-author Martin Malovec, RehaZentrum Malovec.
  • Focus: This study was conducted directly at RehaZentrum Malovec on a sample of 25 pediatric patients. It evaluated the effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) using an “end-effector” type system.
  • Results: The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the number of steps, distance walked, and walking speed in patients.
  • Source: The study is available online, for example, on the Fortune Journals portal.

Enhancing Post-Stroke Gait Rehabilitation with Robot-Assisted Therapy: A Focus on Step Repetitions and Neuroplasticity

  • Authors: Co-authored by Martin Malovec.
  • Focus: This study analyzed data from 132 post-stroke patients (from five different facilities, including RehaZentrum Malovec) who used a robotic RAGT system. It focused on the importance of a high number of repetitions for neuroplasticity.
  • Results: This study also confirmed a significant improvement in the number of steps, which supports the theory of the importance of intensive repetition in rehabilitation.
