Abstract
Neurological gait disturbances require long-term gait rehabilitation. According to existing research results, robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) devices are designed to improve patient's walking capabilities and to eliminate the operator's physical overloading.
The aim of this paper is to present an ergonomic analysis of commercially available RAGT devices, including both the operators and patients postures during RAGT therapy. The results address the major ergonomic gaps and propose possible solutions.
