| Abstract: | [Purpose] The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the intraclass correlationcoefficient in obtaining the torque of the hip muscle strength during a robot-assistedrehabilitation treatment. [Subjects] Twenty-four patients (15 males, 9 females) withspinal cord injury participated in the study. [Methods] The subjects were asked to walkduring robot-assisted rehabilitation, and the torque of the muscle strength which wasmeasured at hip joint flexion angles of −15, −10, −5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30degrees. [Results] The intraclass correlation coefficient of the torque of the hip musclestrength measured by the rehabilitation training robot was excellent. [Conclusion] Ourresults show that measurement of torque can be used as an objective assessment oftreatment with RAT.Key words: Hip muscle strength, Robot-assisted rehabilitation |
