A trend has been
described that robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) might
even replace rather than complement conventional physiotherapeutic
interventions [7]. This is undesirable as
superiority of task-specific locomotor training - meaning
training the task we want the patients to get better
at (in this case walking) - has not been proven sufficiently.
Additionally, recent studies and reviews have also shown
the limitations of RAGT compared to BWSTT in different
patient populations [1,8,9].
