Lower-limb rehabilitation robot training with nutrition education for sarcopenia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This two-arm study compares lower-limb rehabilitation robot training plus nutrition education to usual care (exercise and nutrition education) in adults with sarcopenia. Participants are evaluated at baseline, mid-intervention (week 5), and after eight weeks of intervention. The robot training uses the MRG-P110 device to deliver intensive, repetitive gait-focused sessions alongside nutrition guidance. The goal is to determine if the robotic approach yields greater gains in muscle mass, strength, balance, and functional outcomes than standard care alone, and to assess feasibility for clinical practice.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Aged 60 years or older.
* Meets the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS).
* Conscious and able to understand and follow movement instructions.
* Able to stand for at least 1 minute.
* Physically able to tolerate lower-limb rehabilitation robot training.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Body weight greater than 135 kg.
* Height less than 145 cm or greater than 190 cm, resulting in incompatibility with the exoskeleton.
* Presence of an unhealed fracture.
* Joint contracture or excessive lower-limb muscle tone that prevents participation in robotic training.
