THE REHABILITATION ROBOT – A STUDY OF THE CLINICA SAN FRANCESCO

The robotic procedure is protagonist at the Clinica San Francesco, not just for surgery, but also for the rehabilitation. The staff directed by MD Piergiuseppe Perazzini realized a study on 12 patients who underwent an arthroplasty operation.

The group of patients was placed in an experimental protocol including robotic training and assessment sessions. The outcomes were compared with the another group ones, even this composed of 12 patients of the same age. This last though was under robotic assessment and treated with a traditional rehabilitation course. The preliminary results were promising, indeed, they showed the validity of training with the robotic platform in combination with the conventional therapy in intensive rehabilitation process after robotic knee arthroplasty.

This preliminary study will become object of scientific report followed by another research which will involve an increasing number of patients. The new study will use further assessment parameters thanks to the introduction of a new protocol called “Knee Index”.
