The purpose of this study was to investigate adaptive changes in the lower limb movement and electromyographic (EMG) activities of the lower limb muscles following robot-assisted walking in healthy subjects and patients with locomotor disorder.Electrophysiological techniques were also used to investigate short-term adaptation in the neural pathways before and after the robot-assisted walking. The walking pattern and EMG activities of the lower limb muscles differed between normal walking and robot-assisted walking in healthy subjects and patients with locomotor disorder. By comparing walking parameters between normal walking conditions conducted before and after the assisted walking, changes in the step length and EMG pattern were observed in the patients who have slow walking speed.
