Robot-assisted gait.Physiotherapy · Istanbul

A therapist cannot give you a thousand correct steps in an hour. A device can.

Electromechanical-assisted gait training alongside one-to-one physiotherapy, after stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease and MS. The device supplies repetition and symmetry at a volume hands cannot; the physiotherapist supplies the target, the progression and the judgement about whether the machine is the right tool at all.

What's different here
We will say when the device is not the answer. Used on its own it does not show the benefit the combination does, and a programme built around a machine rather than a patient is how that gets forgotten.

What brings people to us

Robot-assisted gait.
Sound familiar?

You don't need a diagnosis to start — the board reads your records and answers in writing. These are the situations that usually bring people to this page.

Walking that has plateaued in conventional rehabilitation
Enough standing tolerance to train, but not enough to walk far
Asymmetry that returns as soon as you tire
Being told nothing further can be gained
How we treat it

Robot-assisted gait,
owned by one consultant.

We will say when the device is not the answer. Used on its own it does not show the benefit the combination does, and a programme built around a machine rather than a patient is how that gets forgotten.

1SELECT
Is the device right
Whether electromechanical training suits this case is decided at the board and answered in writing, with reasons.
2TRAIN
Device plus therapist
A daily block pairs the device session with one-to-one physiotherapy — the evidence is for the combination, not the machine alone.
3MEASURE
Walking independence
The block ends with the same functional measures it started with, so the gain is a number rather than an impression.
Before you decide

Robot-assisted gait — the questions we're asked.

If your question isn't here, ask it directly — a human replies in minutes, in 8 languages.

Does the robot do the walking for me?

No — it supports and guides the pattern so you can produce far more correct repetitions than a therapist could assist by hand. The work is still yours; the device removes the ceiling on how much of it fits in a session.

ABOUT ROBOT-ASSISTED GAIT

Does it actually help?

Combined with physiotherapy after stroke it probably increases the odds of walking independently (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.21–2.25; 62 trials, 2,440 participants, moderate-certainty evidence — Mehrholz et al., Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2025). Nine patients need treating for one more to walk independently. Used alone, that difference is not there.

ABOUT ROBOT-ASSISTED GAIT

I live abroad — what happens when I fly home?

You leave with a written home programme, and your therapist reviews you on protected video calls on a fixed rhythm. The numbers keep being collected.

HOME PROGRAMME + VIDEO REVIEWS

What does it cost to find out?

Nothing. The board's first review is free, and your programme — sessions, reviews, home plan — is quoted fixed and in writing before it starts.
