In a recent Point of View, it was highlighted that neither
body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) nor
robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) have fulfilled the
high expectations that were raised by researchers and
clinicians in the field of neurorehabilitation [1]. There is
no evidence yet that these methods are superior to overground
training to improve ambulation in neurological
patients, even if they were thought to have a large potential
to advance gait rehabilitation [2,3].
