Short Effects of a Rehabilitation Session on Gait in Patients With CNS

February 3, 2015 updated by: Nicolas ROCHE, Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805

Evaluation of the Short Effects of a Rehabilitation Session on Gait Parameters in Patients With a Lesion of the Central Nervous System

The aim of the study is to evaluate the short effects of a two rehabilitation session commonly performed in physical therapy,

  1. muscle strengthening of the lower limbs and
  2. effort reconditioning with cyclo ergometer, on gait characteristics (kinematics, kinetics and electromyographic) in patients with central nervous system lesion.
