Brief Summary
This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy and investigate the mechanism of motor recovery after RAGT on patients with lower extremity burn. To investigate RAGT effects, we compare the results of RGAT group to the results of matched conventional(CON) rehabilitation group.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Functional ambulation category (FAC)
FAC was evaluated based on six scales. Scale 0 means that the patient cannot walk or can only walk with assistance of two people. Scale 5 means that the patient can walk independently.
12 weeks intervention
6-minute walking test (6MWT)
6MWT was performed in accordance with standardized guidelines, and the walking course was 20 m. Patients were instructed to walk as far as possible in 6 min
12 weeks intervention
Numeric rating scale (NRS) scores
Numeric rating scale (NRS) was used to rate the degree of subjective pain during gait movement: 0 points were assigned when no pain was noted, and unbearable pain was assigned 10 points.
12 weeks intervention
Secondary Outcomes (1)
frontal lobe cortial activity
12 weeks intervention
Study Arms (1)
robot assisted gait traing
EXPERIMENTALSUBAR® (CRETEM, Korea) is a wearable robot with a footplate that assists patients to perform voluntary muscle movements. RAGT enables training of automatically programmed normal gait pattern. Patients underwent 30 min of RAGT using SUBAR® and conventional exercise rehabilitation each for 30 min once a day for 5 days a week for 12 weeks.
Interventions
SUBAR® (CRETEM, Korea) is a wearable robot with a footplate that assists patients to perform voluntary muscle movements. RAGT enables training of automatically programmed normal gait pattern.
