Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Present first clinical results in nonambulatory patients with subacute stroke in two groups: G-EO System gait robot in combination with physiotherapy (PT). PT alone. Relevance – Data should help appraise feasibility and clinical potential of G-EO System.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Methods Experimental group (n = 15) – 20 sessions over 4 weeks: 30 min of G-EO System gait and stair-climbing training and 30 min of individual PT. Control group (n = 15) – 20 sessions over 4 weeks: 60 min of individual PT.

Robot- assisted practice of gait and stair climbing in nonambulatory stroke patients. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(4):613–22. Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Results Because of higher training intensity, the experimental group patients reached superior gait and stair-climbing ability after intervention and at follow-up.
