Effects of Lokomat Training on Dynamic Postural Stability in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Sponsor: I.R.C.C.S. Fondazione Santa Lucia
Summary
The study aims to evaluate the effects of robotic-assisted gait training (Lokomat) on dynamic postural stability in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving robotic training and another receiving conventional postural stability exercises. The primary evaluation will use the Mini-BESTest, supplemented by objective gait analysis using wearable inertial sensors (IMUs) to measure symmetry, fluidity, and stability. A secondary objective is to compare these gait indices between SCI patients and healthy individuals.
