The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training using visual feedback on gait function in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis. Subjects were three female patients who are suffering from hemiparesis after stroke. Outcome measure was a dynamic gait index (DGI) before and after the intervention. The robot-assisted walking training was conducted by three subjects before the intervention, and the robot-assisted walking training was conducted four times daily per week. Our finding showed that the DGI was improved after the intervention in comparison with that assessed before the intervention. Robot-assisted gait training using visual feedback was clinically beneficial to facilitate the recovery of gait function in chronic stroke patients. In this study, it is necessary to improve the gait function after intervention.
