Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is an important cause of disability in patients. Gait rehabilitation in stroke patients with leg weakness can prevent complication and disability.

Research Objective: To develop a gait rehabilitation device for stroke patients with leg weakness.

Research Methodology: This development research was divided into 4 stages as: 1) design device for promoted gait in stroke patients, 2) modifying the device, 3) testing the device, and 4) examining satisfaction in stroke patients.

Results: 1) The gait rehabilitation device for stroke patients with leg weakness can support patient’s weight of 80 kilograms. 2) Stroke patients were satisfied with quality of walking of the gait rehabilitation device at a very good level (M= 4.11, SD = .66). 3) Moreover, stroke patients were very satisfied with equipment of the gait rehabilitation device at a very good level (M= 4.43, SD = .33).

Conclusion: The gait rehabilitation device for stroke patients helps stroke patients with leg weakness to train by following a gait cycle in a safe and realistic way.

Implications: The caregiver can use the gait rehabilitation device for stroke patients with leg weakness to prevent complications when the clinical of patient is stable.
