Robot-Assisted Gait Training vs NMES in Parkinson's Disease (ROBO-NMES-PD)

11. mai 2026 oppdatert av: Dilek ün oguzhanasilturk, Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital

Comparative Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training and Quadriceps Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Added to Standard Exercise Rehabilitation on Balance, Gait, Disease Severity, and Quadriceps Muscle Adaptations in Patients With Parkinson Disease: A Prospective Randomized Assessor-Blinded Clinical Trial

This prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded clinical trial aims to compare the effects of robot-assisted gait training and quadriceps neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) when added to a standard exercise rehabilitation program in patients with Parkinson disease.

Participants will be randomly assigned to two parallel groups. Both groups will receive a standard rehabilitation program, while one group will additionally undergo robot-assisted gait training and the other group will receive quadriceps NMES. The interventions will be administered five days per week for six weeks.

Clinical outcomes, including balance, functional mobility, gait performance, and disease severity, will be evaluated at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up (week 14). In addition, ultrasound-based assessments of quadriceps muscle thickness and cross-sectional area will be performed to investigate muscle adaptations.

The results of this study are expected to provide comparative evidence regarding the effectiveness of these two rehabilitation approaches and contribute to optimizing rehabilitation strategies in Parkinson disease.

Detaljert beskrivelse

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded clinical trial. The study will include patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease who meet the eligibility criteria. After baseline assessment and written informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two parallel intervention groups.

All participants will receive a standard Parkinson rehabilitation program including posture exercises, balance and coordination training, stretching and relaxation exercises, functional gait training, and lower extremity strengthening exercises. In addition to this standard program, one group will receive robot-assisted gait training and the other group will receive neuromuscular electrical stimulation applied to the quadriceps muscle.

The intervention period will last six weeks, with treatment sessions performed five days per week. Participants will be evaluated at baseline, at the end of the six-week treatment period, and at follow-up in week 14. Clinical assessments will be performed by an assessor blinded to group allocation. Ultrasonographic measurements of the quadriceps muscle will also be performed using a standardized technique.

The study is designed to compare the clinical and muscle-related effects of these two adjunctive rehabilitation approaches in Parkinson's disease.
