Abstract
Background: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) after spinal cord injury (SCI) induces several different neurophysiological mechanisms to restore walking ability, including the activation of central pattern generators, task-specific stepping practice and massed exercise. However, there is no clear evidence for the optimal timing and efficacy of RAGT in people with SCI. Objective: To summarize the best evidence of the effect of robotic-assisted locomotor training for walking in spinal cord injury patients . Methods: The review was carried out by using electronic database: Pubmed, Cochrane library, google scholar, reference lists, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) were only included in this review and the others were excluded according to eligibility criteria. Results: Nine RCTs were only included in this review, six studies were analyzed by meta-analysis statistics, and the three other studies were analyzed by descriptive or qualitative analyses. The results of this review revealed that there was significant effect in motor function in lower extremity motor scale (LEMS) but no effect in walking function, modified ashworth scale and balance . Conclusion: Robotic-assisted has a minimal significant effect in patients with spinal cord injury
