This paper presents a survey of existing robotic systems for lower-limb rehabilitation. It is a general assumption that robotics will play an important role in therapy activities within rehabilitation treatment. In the last decade, the interest in the field has grown exponentially mainly due to the initial success of the early systems and the growing demand caused by increasing numbers of stroke patients and their associate rehabilitation costs. As a result, robot therapy systems have been developed worldwide for training of both the upper and lower extremities. This work reviews all current robotic systems to date for lower-limb rehabilitation, as well as main clinical tests performed with them, with the aim of showing a clear starting point in the field. It also remarks some challenges that current systems still have to meet in order to obtain a broad clinical and market acceptance.

Традиционные пульты дистанционного управления когда-то произвели настоящую революцию в мире телевизоров, и сегодня уже таким естественным кажется то, что мы переключаем каналы и регулируем громкость, не поднимаясь с дивана или кресла.

The previous study showed variable individual responses to the rehabilitation session in stroke patients. The cervical spondylotic myelopathy patients exhibited an exaggerated vagal response.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the heart rate variability and physiological cost index during the overground, treadmill, elliptical and exoskeleton robot gait training. All subject walking on the four gait training condition for 10 minutes, respectively.
The results showed that exoskeleton robot was similar to the other gait training condition in autonomic response. The overground, treadmill, elliptical are limited because a number of therapists are required to manually facilitate the step training. Three or more therapists have to place the paretic limb during the swing phase and to shift the patient’s weight onto the stance limb. The exoskeleton robot reduce therapists’ labor burden on the Clinical.
