The international Hip Outcome Tool 12 questionnaire (iHOT-12): an Italian language cross-cultural adaptation and validation.

Background: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are essential for evaluating disease-related quality of life. The International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT12) assesses various aspects of hip-related symptoms, function, sports participation, and social limitations. This study aimed to adapt and validate an Italian version of the iHOT12 according to COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.

Gait robot-assisted rehabilitation in persons with spinal cord injury: A scoping review.

Background: Many robots are available for gait rehabilitation (BWSTRT and ORET) and their application in persons with SCI allowed an improvement of walking function.

Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the effects of different robotic exoskeletons gait training in persons with different SCI level and severity.

Methods: Sixty-two studies were included in this systematic review; the study quality was assessed according to GRADE and PEDro's scale.

Evidence-based improvement of gait in post-stroke patients following robot-assisted training: A systematic review.

Background: The recovery of walking after stroke is a priority goal for recovering autonomy. In the last years robotic systems employed for Robotic Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) were developed. However, literature and clinical practice did not offer standardized RAGT protocol or pattern of evaluation scales.

Robot-assisted gait training in patients with Parkinson's disease: Implications for clinical practice. A systematic review.

Background: Gait impairments are common disabling symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Among the approaches for gait rehabilitation, interest in robotic devices has grown in recent years. However, the effectiveness compared to other interventions, the optimum amount of training, the type of device, and which patients might benefit most remains unclear.

What does evidence tell us about the use of gait robotic devices in patients with multiple sclerosis? A comprehensive systematic review on functional outcomes and clinical recommendations.

Introduction: There is growing evidence on the efficacy of gait robotic rehabilitation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), but most of the studies have focused on gait parameters. Moreover, clear indications on the clinical use of robotics still lack. As part of the CICERONE Italian Consensus on Robotic Rehabilitation, the aim of this systematic review was to investigate the existing evidence concerning the role of lower limb robotic rehabilitation in improving functional recovery in patients with MS.

Robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation following stroke: a systematic review of current guidelines and practical clinical recommendations.

Introduction: Stroke is the third leading cause of adult disability worldwide, and lower extremity motor impairment is one of the major determinants of long-term disability. Although robotic therapy is becoming more and more utilized in research protocols for lower limb stroke rehabilitation, the gap between research evidence and its use in clinical practice is still significant. The aim of this study was to determine the scope, quality, and consistency of guidelines for robotic lower limb rehabilitation after stroke, in order to provide clinical recommendations.

Physical modalities for the conservative treatment of wrist and hand's tenosynovitis: A systematic review.

Objectives: The management of wrist and hand's tenosynovitis remains challenging and needs to be individualized. Physical modalities are accepted among conservative treatments, but there is currently no systematic assessment of their role and efficacy. The aim of this review is to analyze the literature including studies dealing with the use of physical modalities in De Quervain disease, Dupuytren disease and trigger finger, in order to obtain indications for everyday clinical practice.
