Computerized visual feedback in robotic-assisted gait training improved patient motivation and concentration, similar to therapist instructions. This method enhances motor output for individuals with neurological gait disorders undergoing rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Motor Learning
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Robotic devices offer new ways to provide performance feedback during gait training.
  • Augmented feedback, based on motor learning principles, may enhance recovery of walking function.
  • This study implemented visual feedback in a driven gait orthosis (DGO).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the immediate effect of computerized visual feedback versus verbal therapist instructions on motor output during robotic-assisted gait training.
  • To investigate patient opinions on using visual feedback during rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve individuals with neurological gait disorders (incomplete spinal cord injury) participated.
  • Subjects walked in the DGO under two conditions: following therapist verbal instructions and using computerized visual feedback.

  • Patient opinions on visual feedback were collected via questionnaire.

    • Main Results:

    • Both computerized visual feedback and therapist verbal instructions led to similar changes in patient motor output.
    • Patients reported increased motivation and concentration when using computerized visual feedback.
    • No direct comparison was made to a no-feedback condition in terms of motor output.

    Conclusions:

    • Computerized visual feedback is a valuable addition to robotic-assisted gait training.
    • It effectively increases patient motor output, involvement, and motivation.
    • Visual feedback serves as a comparable tool to therapist instructions in enhancing gait rehabilitation.
