People with multiple sclerosis will participate in the study.
The main objective of the study is the comparison of effectiveness the gait rehabilitation with the use of a lower body exoskeleton EKSO GT with Variable Assist software extension (EKSO Bionics, Richmond, CA, USA) and Robot-Assisted Treadmill Therapy (Lokomat, Hocoma, Volketswil, Switzerland). The assessment will be undertaken before program and after 3 weeks of training with EKSO GT and Lokomat. All measurement procedures will be performed by members of the research team. Participants who meet eligibility requirements will be randomly divided into group with EKSO (n=18) and group with Lokomat (n=18). Each patient will participate in 15 training sessions with using EKSO GT.
Each patient's training will last 3 weeks, 5 times a week (form Monday to Friday). Time of each training session is - from 45 to 60 minutes.
Robotic gait training in both groups will be conducted by a physiotherapist who is not participating neither in a basic survey nor in a control test. Training parameters for each patient will be individually tailored by the physiotherapist. The duration of each training session will depend on the patient walking capabilities. Participation in the training is confirmed in medical records.
Participants from both groups will implement a standard rehabilitation program.
Physiotherapists who conduct the trainings, are certified EKSO and Lokomat
specialists. Each training session in Ekso GT and Lokomat will be stored in software
and recorded in patient's medical documentation.
