Clinical Utility of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury Caused by Electrical Burns: A Case Report

2 participantsStarted 2023-06-15

Plain-language summary

Robot-assisted gait training has been effective in several diseases. Nevertheless, evidence supporting the efficacy of such training in burn patients remains insufficient. This report aimed to evaluate the effect of robot-assisted gait training in burn patients with spinal cord injuries caused by electrical trauma. We will report a case of two patients who underwent 30 min of robot-assisted gait training using SUBAR® (Cretem, Korea) with 30 min of conventional physiotherapy, 5 days a week for 12 weeks.
