Predicting effectiveness of robotic treatment for neurological diseases

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 observational study aims to develop a statistical model to predict the effectiveness of robotic treatment using the G-EO system in patients with neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, and Parkinson Disease. The study will assess various clinical and instrumental characteristics of participants to identify predictors of treatment success. Participants will undergo robotic-assisted gait training, and their responses will be analyzed to understand which factors contribute to better outcomes. The findings could help tailor robotic therapies to individual patient needs.
