Shaping neuroplasticity by using powered exoskeletons in patients with stroke: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract Background The use of neurorobotic devices may improve gait recovery by entraining specific brain plasticity mechanisms, which may be a key issue for successful rehabilitation using such approach. We assessed whether the wearable exoskeleton, Ekso™, could get higher gait performance than co...
