The use of FES combined with different walking retraining strategies has shown to result in improvements in hemiplegic gait. Robotic devices need further research to show their suitability for walking training and their effects on over-ground gait. Combination of different rehabilitation strategies seems to be more effective than over-ground gait training alone. Regarding classical rehabilitation techniques, there is insufficient evidence to state that a particular approach is more effective in promoting gait recovery than other. The methods reviewed comprise classical gait rehabilitation techniques (neurophysiological and motor learning approaches), functional electrical stimulation (FES), robotic devices, and brain-computer interfaces (BCI).įrom the analysis of these approaches, we can draw the following conclusions.

It also examines the possible benefits of including assistive robotic devices and brain-computer interfaces in this field, according to a top-down approach, in which rehabilitation is driven by neural plasticity. This document provides a review of the techniques and therapies used in gait rehabilitation after stroke.
