Objective:
Evaluate the effect of end-effector robot training on lower limb motor function and balance in stroke patients.
Methods:
Systematically reviewed the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to December 2025. Included studies compared end-effector robot training with conventional therapy for lower limb function and balance in stroke patients. Used PEDro scale and RevMan 5.4 software for meta-analysis.
Results:
Sixteen RCTs with 789 patients showed significant improvements in lower limb motor function (FAC score, FMA-L score, 10MWT speed) and balance function (BBS score) with end-effector robot training. No significant difference in 6MWT distance between groups.
Conclusion:
End-effector robot training may enhance lower limb motor function and balance in stroke patients, but its effect on 6MWT distance is uncertain. Further research needed on training effectiveness and long-term mechanisms.
