Evaluation of Outcomes of Robotics Rehabilitation in Cerebral Palsy
Sponsor: IRCCS Eugenio Medea
Summary
The use of robotic devices in rehabilitation programs can improve walking patterns by reorganizing joint kinematics. This study aims to quantify the effects of a rehabilitation program supported by the Lokomat (Hocoma) robotic device on walking in children and young people with movement disorders, considering different levels of impairment.

Conditions
Interventions
pre treatment assesment
All measurements will be obtained using an optoelectronic multicamera system for human motion analysis (with eight high-resolution cameras with infrared light and a sampling frequency of 60 Hz. The experimental protocol requires the positioning of markers (plastic spheres covered by reflecting film, 10 mm in diameter). Markers will be placed by clinical operators (physiotherapists with training in optoelectronic system for human motion analysis) after training and experience in recognition of the position of body landmarks.
