Effects of robotic-assisted gait training on cognitive performance and body schema deficits in patients with brain lesions: a multidisciplinary approach.

The present project in collaboration with the Casa di Cura Villa Esperia aims to investigate the effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training on cognitive performance and deficits of the body schema in patients with brain lesions. We are also studying the impact of robotic rehabilitation on the more cognitive aspect of motor representation such as motor imagery and motor awareness.
