The search focused on reviews addressing the use of lower-limb robotic devices in patients with neurological diseases. Only reviews that followed standardized protocols and reported quantitative motor and\/or non-motor rehabilitation outcomes were included. Extracted information included demographic characteristics, experimental procedures, and numerical outcomes related to motor and non-motor functions (e.g., walking test scores, clinical scale ratings).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 33 reviews met the inclusion criteria. Stroke was the most frequently studied condition, whereas Parkinson\u2019s disease and multiple sclerosis were rarely addressed. Findings related to stroke suggested that robotic rehabilitation may provide benefits over conventional therapy, with statistically significant improvements in some cases. In contrast, evidence for spinal cord injury, Parkinson\u2019s disease, and multiple sclerosis was limited and inconsistent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, lower-limb robotic devices show promise in neurorehabilitation, particularly for post-stroke recovery.
