An interventional study of robot assisted gait training in Burn, Fracture and Robot Assisted Gait Training, sponsored by Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in South Korea. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-11.

Gait dysfunction, common in patients with lower limb burns accompanied by fractures, requires acute rehabilitation. This study investigated the clinical effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on gait function in patients with lower limb burns accompanied by fractures.
In this preliminary study, RAGT will be conducted using an end-effector-type gait-training robot. Participants will receive 60 min of gait training daily (30 min of conventional gait training and 30 min of RAGT) for 8 weeks. We plan to conduct clinical evaluations related to gait function of the participants included in the preliminary study before training and after 8 weeks of training.
Background : Gait dysfunction, common in patients with lower limb burns accompanied by fractures, requires acute rehabilitation. This study investigated the clinical effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on gait function in patients with lower limb burns accompanied by fractures.
Material and Methods: In this preliminary study, RAGT will be conducted using an end-effector-type gait-training robot. Participants will receive 60 min of gait training daily (30 min of conventional gait training and 30 min of RAGT) for 8 weeks. We plan to conduct clinical evaluations related to gait function of the participants included in the preliminary study before training and after 8 weeks of training. To evaluate clinical efficacy, functional ambulation category (FAC), muscle strength (manual muscle test, MMT), active range of motion (AROM) of the lower limbs, 6-minute walking test (6 MWT), pain score, gait kinematics, and spatiotemporal gait parameters will be measured before and after 8 weeks training.
905 studies on the registry are indexed under Burns; 164 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 5 is below the median of 40 across 663 interventional studies indexed under Burns.

Exclusion Criteria:
All participants underwent 60 min of daily gait training consisting of 30 min of conventional physical therapy in the morning and 30 min of RAGT in the afternoon. All participants underwent 40 gait training sessions over 8 weeks, five times per week. Conventional physical training consisted of ROM exercises and strength training for the lower limbs and ground gait training once weight bearing was possible.
Other: robot assisted gait training
All participants underwent 60 min of daily gait training consisting of 30 min of conventional physical therapy in the morning and 30 min of RAGT in the afternoon. All participants underwent 40 gait training sessions over 8 weeks, five times per week. Conventional physical training consisted of ROM exercises and strength training for the lower limbs and ground gait training once weight bearing was possible.
functional ambulatory category
Ambulatory ability was assessed using the FAC scale. Participants were rated on a six-point scale based on the level of physical assistance required for walking, regardless of whether an assistive device was used.
Time frame: 8 weeks
manual muscle test, MMT
. Lower limb muscle strength was assessed using the MMT based on the Medical Research Council scale for muscle strength.
Time frame: 8 weeks
active range of motion (AROM) of the lower limbs
Full AROM of the hip, knee, and ankle joints was measured before and after training.
Time frame: 8 weeks
pain score (visual analog scale, VAS)
A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to rate the degree of subjective pain during gait movement (0 points: no pain, 10 points: unbearable pain).
Time frame: 8 weeks
6-minute walking test (6 MWT)
The 6 MWT was conducted according to standardized guidelines on a 20-m walking course. Patients were instructed to walk as far as possible within 6 min.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Plan to share: Yes — We plan to disclose it upon a legitimate request from the corresponding author.
Supporting information: Study protocol
Started Apr 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 32 months after the start.
Of 210 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Burns, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 38. This study's planned 32 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 239 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 38.
