Clinical gait analysis reveals altered walking patterns in critical Covid 19 survivors.

Background: Covid-19 has dramatically increased the number of admissions in intensive care units due to respiratory complications. In some cases, the arousal of neurological impairments, such as peripheral neuropathies, have been revealed. The purpose of this research was to characterize the gait pattern and muscle activity changes in Covid-19 survivors compared to physiological gait.

Robot-assisted end-effector-based gait training in chronic stroke patients: A multicentric uncontrolled observational retrospective clinical study.

Background: Until now studies report inconclusive results as regards the effectiveness of exclusive use of robot-assisted training and clinical indications in stroke patients.

Objective: To evaluate if the only robot-assisted end-effector-based gait training can be feasible in chronic stroke subjects in terms of gait recovery.

Methods: Five rehabilitation centers participated and one hundred chronic post-stroke patients were recruited.
