Introduction: Robotic technology and physical therapy are of paramount significance for treating gait impairment in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. However, there is still a lack of comparative studies between these two approaches. This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the effectiveness of Robot-assisted Gait Training (RAGT) with Conventional Walking Training (CWT) in MS patients.
Method: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was done through Pubmed/Medline, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and ClinicalTrials.gov registry from 2001 to 2023. After careful screening, 14 articles of highly significant variables were involved in synthesising this meta-analysis. Data analysis was done through Review Manager (RevMan, Version 5.4.1; The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark).
