Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training Combined with Visual Feedback on Unilateral Neglect and Activities of Daily Living in Subacute Stroke Patients

Abstract

Purpose This study investigated the effects conventional robotassisted gait training (CRAGT) and visual feedbackbased robotassisted gait training (VFRAGT) on unilateral neglect and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with unilateral neglect after stroke. Methods Twentyfour stroke patients with unilateral neglect were recruited for this study. Participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=12) or the control group (n=12). The experimental group received VFRAGT, whereas the control group received CRAGT. Both groups underwent 30minute training sessions, three times per week for four weeks. Unilateral neglect was evaluated using Albert’s test and the linebisection test, and ADL were assessed using the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (KMBI). All assessments were performed before and after the intervention. Results Both groups showed significant improvements in Albert’s test, linebisection test, and KMBI scores after the intervention (p<.05). The VFRAGT group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in unilateral neglect compared to the CRAGT group (p<.05). However, no significant betweengroup difference was found in KMBI scores (p>.05). Conclusion Both VFRAGT and CRAGT effectively reduced unilateral neglect and improved ADL in patients with stroke. In particular, VFRAGT was more effective than CRAGT in improving unilateral neglect. These findings suggest that VFRAGT may be an effective rehabilitation intervention for patients with unilateral neglect after stroke.
