• Aim– Investigate whether exercise intensity during
Lokomat therapy elicits a training effect. – Determine how assistance while walking with
Lokomat affects this exercise intensity.
• Relevance– Robot-assisted treadmill exercise (using Lokomat
device) could increase duration of walking therapy relative to conventional overground walking.

Methods
• 20 Participants:– 10 patients with stroke walked on Lokomat and in hallway.– 10 nondisabled subjects walked on Lokomat at various
settings and on treadmill at various speeds.
• Oxygen and heart rate were monitored.

Results• Patients with stroke:
– Exercise intensity during Lokomat walking:
• Didn’t reach recommended 30% heart rate reserve (HRR) for aerobic training.
• Lower than during overground walking.
• Nondisabled subjects:– Different Lokomat settings had
only small effects on exercise intensity.
(a) Oxygen consumption (VO2). (b) HRR.

Conclusion
• Exercise intensity during Lokomat walking is light and below American College of Sports Medicine-recommended values to improve aerobic fitness.
