Efficacy of robot-assisted gait training combined with conventional physiotherapy in postoperative patients with diparetic cerebral palsy: an observational study

This dataset is related to 27 post-surgical patients with diparetic CP  who underwent 15 sessions of robot-assisted gait training with the Lokomat system, combined with 15 sessions of conventional physiotherapy over 3 weeks.

The dataset includes subjects’ anagraphic and individual factors (such as age at recruitment, sex, GMFCS level, type of surgery and time from surgery prior to recrutiment); functional outcomes (i.e. the 6-minute walking test, the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 and the Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire), 3D gait analysis, spasticity and force metrics of the lower limb data collected before (T0) and after (T1) the treatment. 

In particular, the database is divided into several sheets related to : 

• Anagraphic data
• Clinical assessments

Columns B, C: 6MWT at T0 and T1;

Columns from D to O: GMFM-88 dimensions A,B,C,D,E and total score at T0 and T1;

Columns P, Q: FAQ measures at T0 and T1.

• Gait parameters

Columns from B to AW: Spatiotemporal parameters collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs;

Columns from AX to CS: ankle kinematics collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs;

Columns from CT to DQ: knee kinematics collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs;

Columns from DR to GC: hip kinematics collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs;

Columns from GD to GS: trunk kinematics collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs;

Columns from GT to IK: kinetics collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs;

Columns from IL to JY: Gait Variable Score and Gait Profile Score parameters collected at T0 and T1.

•  Lokomat parameters

Columns from B to AW : Stiffness measurment at hip and kneel level at at three different velocities: 
•    hip: 22.5°/s, 45°/s, and 90°/s, peak angular velocity;
•    knees: 30°/s, 60°/s and 120°/s, peak velocity

collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs;

Columns from AX to B: Isometric voluntary force produced in the hip and knee during flexion-extension movements collected at T0 and T1 and divided for Impaired (I) and Less Impaierd (LI) legs.
