However, gait training with HAL may not be effective for everyone, and it is not clear who is not expected to benefit. Therefore, we aimed to identify the characteristics of stroke patients who have difficulty gaining benefits from gait training with HAL. We conducted a single-institutional retrospective cohort study. The participants were 82 stroke patients who had received gait training with HAL during hospitalization. The dependent variable was the functional ambulation category (FAC) that a measure of gait independence in stroke patients, and five independent [age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Brunnstrom recovery stage (BRS), days from stroke onset, and functional independence measure total score (cognitive items)] variables were selected from previous studies and analyzed by logistic regression analysis. We evaluated the validity of logistic regression analysis by using several indicators, such as the area under the curve (AUC), and a confusion matrix. Age, days from stroke onset to HAL initiation, and BRS were identified as factors that significantly influenced walking independence through gait training with HAL. The AUC was 0.86. Furthermore, after building a confusion matrix, the calculated binary accuracy, sensitivity (recall), and specificity were 0.80, 0.80, and 0.81, respectively, indicated high accuracy. Our findings confirmed that older age, greater degree of paralysis, and delayed initiation of HAL-assisted training after stroke onset were associated with increased likelihood of walking dependence upon hospital discharge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnbot.2024.1336812","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]],"date-time":"2024-02-08T04:40:13Z","timestamp":1707367213000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Identifying the characteristics of patients with stroke who have difficulty benefiting from gait training with the hybrid assistive limb: a retrospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Shingo","family":"Taki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Imura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsubasa","family":"Mitsutake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuji","family":"Iwamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ryo","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naoki","family":"Imada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hayato","family":"Araki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osamu","family":"Araki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"267","article-title":"\u201cInformation theory and an extension of the maximum likelihood principle,\u201d","author":"Akaike","year":"1973","journal-title":"2nd International Symposium on Information Theory"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"661815","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2021.661815","article-title":"The effect of robotic assisted gait training with Lokomat\u00ae on balance control after stroke: systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"12","author":"Baronchelli","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front.
