The association of C-Mill with traditional physical therapy rehabilitation in a multiple sclerosis patient: a case report

Abstract

A 55-year-old woman with Multiple Scleroris (MS) was referred to undergo a course of conventional physical therapy and cognitive robotic rehabilitation. The neurological examination revealed ataxic gait, dysmetria, nystagmus, cognitive impairment of attention and memory, weakness in the four limbs. To improve balance and walking skills, 20 gait and balance rehabilitation sessions was prescribed, based on conventional physiotherapy and virtual reality. The results were evaluated with balance and walking tests and with objective test C-GAIT. This case report shows improvements in gait and balance in aMS patient obtained with a rehabilitation program that associated C-MILL with traditional physical therapy.
