Robot trainer boosts stroke rehab – but does side of weakness matter?
NCT ID NCT07280884
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested whether a robotic device called Luna EMG, which uses muscle signals to assist movement, can improve walking and balance in people recovering from a stroke. 62 older adults with leg weakness after a stroke were randomly assigned to get either robotic training plus standard physiotherapy or standard physiotherapy alone. The researchers also looked at whether the side of the body affected by the stroke changed the results.
