A Case Report of Becker Muscular Dystrophy and Stroke Who Successfully Regained Mobility With Robot-Assisted Gait Training

Abstract

ABSTRACT: A 30-yr-old patient with Becker muscular dystrophy presented with stroke. Background issues of proximal weakness, dilated cardiomyopathy, and reduced endurance challenged the usual goal-setting and formulation of a stroke rehabilitation plan. We discuss the holistic rehabilitation program that this patient underwent, with a focus on the utilization of robot-assisted gait training that eventually led him to successfully regain mobility.
