Summary

The aim of this study is to improve knowledge about mechanical gait assistance combined with virtual reality efficiency in gait recovery for Parkinson´s patients. It is hypothesised that 12 sessions of 30 minutes each, over a 4 weeks period, of antigravity treadmill rehabilitation combined with virtual reality treatment is effective for increase gait autonomy in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Virtual reality combined with anti-gravity treadmill

The system is composed of three major parts: the treadmill, the antigravity system and the virtual reality system. The treadmill is the base of the device. It is a rounded and concave structure that permits to walk in all direction. For simulate anti-gravity, a harness and pulley system allow to regulate the weight. Finally, the virtual reality system enables participants to simulate an experience of daily life.
