About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hemiparesis focused on measuring GRAIL, children, rehabilitation, virtual reality, hemiparesis

Eligibility Criteria

6 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • hemiparetic patients as a consequence of acquired brain injury

Exclusion Criteria:

  • excessive muscular spasticity or contractures.
  • recent (under 6 months) lower limbs surgery
  • cognitive or emotional/relational obstacles to the therapy

Sites / Locations

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

GRAIL population

traditional population

Arm Description

patients are treated with 20 sessions of GRAIL rehabilitation, associated to 20 traditional physiotherapy sessions (1+1 a day, during a period of 30 days)

subjects are treated with 40 sessions of traditional physiotherapy (2 a day, during a period of 30 days)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Gait Analysis
Analysis of the walking pattern performed with traditional gait analysis lab and with GRAIL system
Gross Motor Functional Movement
Assessment of the kinetic function, divided into 5 dimensions, range from 0 to 88, 0 meaning worse scores and 88 healthy subjects.

Secondary Outcome Measures

6 Minute Walking Test
recording of the distance run by the patient in a lapse of time of 6 minutes
Functional Assessment Questionaire
Questionaire Filled in by the patients or by the parents, on the perception of the walking ability, range from 1 (subjects unable to step) to 10 (healthy subjects)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main goal of the study is to verify the efficacy of the GRAIL system in respect to the walking pattern improvement in a population of hemiparetic subjects. In particular, the specific goals will be: increase in walking symmetry and a better distribution among the time of stance and swing. Kinematics and Kinetics correction, with incentive of more corrected activation timing. Recruitment of the muscles most involved by the paresis, with the help of visual feedback. walking speed increase (but with the priority of the walking pattern) increase in the resistance Stregthening of the support reaction
