Robotic Assessment of Lower Extremity Motor Learning

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Healthy Subjects

In brief

The aim of the study is to assess the ability of healthy subjects to generate a motor adaptation in response to a mechanical perturbation generated by a robotic system for treadmill-based gait training (Lokomat by Hocoma AG, a device that received 510K FDA clearance).
