Abstract :
This paper describes the results of a month-long case study of a stroke patient training with the anklebot conducted at the MIT Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics. The study provides promising evidence for reducing paretic impairment using the anklebot in stroke patients. We found a statistically significant increase in the paretic soleus and tibialis anterior EMG levels following anklebot training.
