Walking ability, though important for a quality of life and participation in social and economic life, can be adversely affected by neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury, stroke or traumatic brain injury. The main goal of rehabilitation is to maximize motor performance and minimize functional deficits [4]. This requires a patient to practice repetitive motion, specifically using the muscles affected by neurological injury. In traditional rehabilitation, one or more therapists assist and encourage the patient through a number of repetitive exercises. Nowadays in a rehabilitation, mechanical systems (robots) are used to replace or assist the lost functions of human extremities and an attempt will be made to present them in more precise terms than hitherto.
