Gait training using robots or machines is a field that has seen significant advancements in recent years. Various robotic systems have been developed to assist individuals with gait impairments in their rehabilitation process. These systems aim to provide personalized and intensive gait training while ensuring safety and promoting recovery. There are various devices and apparatuses that are known in the prior art that are used to improve the gait pattern of a user.
