Robotic therapy has been gaining prominence in poststroke rehabilitation programs. An example of these devices is the G- EO System6, which simulates gait as well as other more complexes standards of gait such as the steps on stairs. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies that apply thermography as a tool to evaluate stroke patients who undertook rehabilitation programs with the aid of robotic devices. Te patient IWPS undergoes sequelae of hemorrhagic stroke for 19 months and consequently hemiplegia, had scores of 93 points in the Fugl-Meyer scale, is undertaking a physical rehabilitation program for six months, has no complaints of discomfort due to thermic sensitivity imbalances between the plegic and the contralateral sides, and voluntarily reports that he realizes functionality improvements especially, according to his perception, due to the aid of the robotic therapy in his gait training with the G-EO System6. Te thermographic images were captured by an infrared sensor FLIR T650SC. By analyzing the temperature diferences between both hemispheres of the body, before, immediately afer, and 30 minutes afer a robotic therapy for gait training, we observed that the values frstly increased immediately afer the training, but afer the 30-minute rest an important thermoregulation was achieved. 1. Introduction Along with the conventional treatment, robotic therapies are considered useful to integrate physical rehabilitation programs of patients with sequelae of vascular cerebral accident (stroke) [1]. It is known that the constant activation of the plegic limbs is substantial to the physical rehabilitation process. Te robotic therapy aids the movements of the plegic or paretic limbs and may help the functionality recovery, and the robotic devices allow these movements to have greater control as well as the possibility of recovery follow-up [2]. An example of these devices is the G-EO System6 [3], which simulates gait as well as other more complexes standards of gait such as the steps on stairs, even though the scientifc literature regarding this device is still not broad enough as to allow conclusions on this system. Willing to demonstrate possible changes that patients go through during a physical rehabilitation program, a recent study [4] applied thermographic imaging as an assessment tool for evaluating 16 stroke patients. Te authors of this study observed that, afer the rehabilitation intervention, there was a 0.5 ∘ C increase in the temperature of the paretic limb, as well as improvements in the joint functionality; therefore they concluded that thermography can be a useful method for monitoring the efects of a rehabilitation program of patients with stroke. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies that apply thermography as a tool to evaluate stroke patients who undertook rehabilitation programs with the aid of robotic devices. 2.
