In the researchers' words
In the rehabilitation project for patients with severe Acquired Brain Injury (sABI), it is essential to include exercises that facilitate the recovery of the upright position (or verticalization). Recently, tilt-table equipped with the robot-assisted lower limbs cyclic mobilization has been proposed as a safe and suitable device for accelerating the adaptation to vertical posture in bedridden patients with brain-injury since the acute phase. The present multicentre study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of robotic assisted verticalization plus mobilization (VEM) versus traditional verticalization (TV) in a large cohort of patients with sABI.
