Background Gait restoration is an integral part of rehabilitation of brain lesioned patients. Modern concepts favour a task-specific repetitive approach, i.e.
Who wants to regain walking has to walk, while tone-inhibiting and gait preparatory manoeuvres had dominated therapy before. Following the first mobilization out of the bed, the wheelchair-bound patient should have the possibility to practise complex gait cycles as soon as possible. Steps in this direction were treadmill training with partial body weight support and most recently gait machines enabling the repetitive training of even surface gait and even of stair climbing. Results With treadmill training harness-secured and partially relieved wheelchair-mobilised patients could practise up to 1000 steps per session for the first time. Controlled trials in stroke and SCI patients, however, failed to show a superior result when compared to walking exercise on the floor. Most likely explanation was the effort for the therapists, e.g.

Manually setting the paretic limbs during the swing phase resulting in a too little gait intensity. The next steps were gait machines, either consisting of a powered exoskeleton and a treadmill (Lokomat, AutoAmbulator) or an electromechanical solution with the harness secured patient placed on movable foot plates (Gait Trainer GT I). For the latter, a large multi-centre trial with 155 non-ambulatory stroke patients (DEGAS) revealed a superior gait ability and competence in basic activities of living in the experimental group. The HapticWalker continued the end effector concept of movable foot plates, now fully programmable and equipped with 6 DOF force sensors.
This device for the first time enables training of arbitrary walking situations, hence not only the simulation of floor walking but also for example of stair climbing and perturbations. The restoration of gait for patients with impairments of the central nervous system (CNS), like e.g. Stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an integral part of rehabilitation and often influences whether a patient can return home or to work. Particularly stroke is the leading cause for disability in all industrialized countries, the incidence is approximately one million patients in the European Union each year [, ]. Modern concepts of motor learning favor a task specific training, i.e.
To relearn walking, the patient should ideally train all walking movements, needed in daily life, repetitively in a physically correct manner [ ]. Conventional training methods based on this approach, proved to be effective, e.g.
Treadmill training [ ], but they require great physical effort from the physiotherapists to assist the patient, so does even more training of free walking guided by at least two physiotherapists. Assisted gait movements other than walking on even floor, like for instance stair climbing, are practically almost impossible to train, due to the overstrain of the physiotherapists. Assistive training devices, in particular those based on the concept of programmable footplates, may offer a solution to these shortcomings.
Hemiparesis is the typical sequelae following stroke, three months after the incident one third of the surviving patients has not yet regained independent walking ability, and those ambulatory walk in a typical asymmetric manner, as they avoid to load the paretic limb. At the same time their walking velocity and endurance are markedly reduced. Stairs, sudden obstacles, uneven terrain or other perturbations further challenge the patients' gait ability outside the clinic. The rehabilitation process toward regaining a meaningful mobility can be divided into three phases [ ]: 1. The bedridden patient has to be mobilized into the wheelchair, 2. Restoration of gait, 3. And improvement of gait in order to meet the requirements of daily mobility.
