We would like to share our clinical experience with a paraplegia patient with incomplete T7 paraplegia. The improvement we observed over the therapy progression encouraged us to share our experience to support other clinicians working with the same patient group on the Lokomat.

In our clinic, Lokomat training is integrated in the rehabilitation plan of our patients and combined with the conventional therapy plan. In this case report, we describe how the Lokomat was used in our center to support the recovery of a severely affected stroke patient. We illustrate how the Lokomat can become part of the standardized therapy to improve walking ability and functional independence.

We would like to share our clinical experience with an 8 years old tetraparetic patient who underwent one month of intensive Lokomat training with Augmented Performance Feedback. Please find in this report a detailed description of the therapy program, pre-post Lokomat and GMFM assessments and our main conclusions for this case.
