In the present study, we aim to evaluate the satisfaction level of various items regarding rehabilitation robot treatment for patients and medical staff to find out considerations for future advancement. We provided gait rehabilitation treatment to patients in need of gait rehabilitation using Morning Walk (Curexo Co., Ltd.), a gait rehabilitation robot manufactured in Korea, as shown in Figure 1. Morning Walk is an end-effector type walking rehabilitation robot that implements walking through footrest movements and provides various walking patterns. It is a device that allows settings for each patient and walking parameters for each condition, and provides seated weight support, active weight support, and walking assistance. As a result of the training, we provide virtual reality content that increases participation. We performed a satisfaction survey on patients and medical staff after rehabilitation treatment, and confirmed the results as shown in Figure 2. Both patient and medical staff satisfaction increased from 2020 to 2023. However, when comparing satisfaction by group, it was confirmed that patient satisfaction results were higher every year compared to medical staff. As shown in previous research results, rehabilitation robot walking therapy has a high therapeutic effect, and the rehabilitation robot assists patients who have difficulty actually moving, allowing them to walk on their own, which I believe is the result of raising self-esteem and satisfaction at the same time. However, medical staff reported that they believed that rehabilitation robot treatment required more time and intervention than existing conventional treatment. In addition, it was reported that there was concern about patient safety and accidents involving hands and feet getting caught when the medical staff applies it to patients.
