Recently, new training techniques that involve the use of robots have been used in the rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia and paraplegia. Robots used for training the arm include the MIT-MANUS, Arm Trainer, mirror-image motion enabler (MIME) robot, and the assisted rehabilitation and measurement (ARM) Guide. Robots that are used for lower-limb training are the Rehabot, Gait Trainer, Lokomat, LOPES Exoskeleton Robot, and Gait Assist Robot. Robot-aided therapy has enabled the functional training of the arm and the lower limbs in an effective, easy, and comfortable manner. Therefore, with this type of therapy, the patients can repeatedly undergo sufficient and accurate training for a prolonged period. However, evidence of the benefits of robot-aided training has not yet been established.
最近，涉及使用机器人的新型训练技术已被用于偏瘫和截瘫患者的康复治疗。用于训练手臂的机器人包括麻省理工学院手功能康复训练器（MIT-MANUS）、手臂训练器、镜像运动辅助器（MIME）机器人以及辅助康复与测量（ARM）引导器。用于下肢训练的机器人有康复机器人（Rehabot）、步态训练器、Lokomat、LOPES外骨骼机器人和步态辅助机器人。机器人辅助治疗能够以有效、简便且舒适的方式对手臂和下肢进行功能训练。因此，通过这种治疗方式，患者能够在较长时间内反复接受充分且精确的训练。然而，机器人辅助训练的益处尚未得到证实。
