In the researchers' words
This project is structured in two distinct phases. The first phase deals with the recovery of the hip fracture in the acute phase up to ambulation, and the second is understood as the continuation of functional improvement of gait. In the first phase, the aim is to evaluate the effects of the use of the robotic device (SWalker) on the physical improvement of the patient. While in the second phase, the objective is to evaluate the effects of virtual reality technology combined with the use of the SWalker.Therefore, the following specific objectives are identified: * Phase I: To analyze the effects of SWalker application in patients with acute hip fracture on clinical parameters of rehabilitation. * Phase II: To study the effects of the application of the SWalker combined with immersive technology in people with impaired gait function after hip fracture.
