OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Patients will undergo a combined rehabilitation treatment consisting of 15 sessions on Lokomat and 15 sessions of physical therapy over three weeks for a total of 30 sessions. Two sessions/day for 5 days a week. The same subjects will conduct clinical-functional assessments before, at the end of treatment, and after a 3-month follow-up: 3D Gait Analysis with defined protocol (BTSBioenginner); Spastic Paraplegia Rating Scale (SPRS); Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Ten Meters Walk Test (10MWT), Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS); Quality of life questionnaires: Medical Outcome Survey Short Form (SF-36) and ad hoc questionnaire for subjective assessment of symptoms during walking (HSP-SNAP). This study is part of normal clinical practice and does not involve any changes to the current rehabilitation course for patients.
