Evaluating robotic rehabilitation and nutrition for patients with soft tissue sarcoma

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients with localized soft tissue sarcoma who are undergoing surgical treatment. It aims to assess motor impairments and the effectiveness of personalized robotic rehabilitation techniques on motor recovery. Additionally, the study evaluates the impact of surgery and rehabilitation on patients' quality of life and nutritional status through various assessments and questionnaires. The primary endpoint is to measure functional deficits and motor quality before and after rehabilitation.
