There are a range of advanced technologies intended to support gait training and restoring functional gait. Robotic systems can be useful in reducing the metabolic cost of walking, providing stability during gait rehabilitation, and supporting neuroplasticity, among other objectives. This symposium offers a unique opportunity for clinical professionals to engage with industry and research professionals from the rehabilitation technology field to understand the evidence supporting the use of advanced technologies for lower extremity rehabilitation / gait training. Specifically, end-effector and exoskeletons will be presented via a mix of didactic lecture and hands-on demonstrations. Attendees will develop a better understanding of the theoretical background, research evidence, and application basics of these technologies following completion of this symposium.
