Abstract

A 30-year-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.
