Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a solitary, symmetric, demyelination in the central pons. This case study aimed to report the effects of an intensive robotic gait training with Lokomat-Pro on mobility and quality of life in a case of CPM.
CASE DESCRIPTION AND INTERVENTION: A 33-year-old female patient with tetraparesis and gait disturbance due to CPM was hospitalized to undergo intensive rehabilitation training for about 2 months. Daily session of Lokomat-Pro and psychotherapy by telemedicine were performed, besides nursing care and occupational and physical therapy. Motor evaluation and quality of life were assessed by using standardized scales.
OUTCOMES: The multidisciplinary therapy led to significant improvements both in functional motor outcomes (as per 10-Meter Walk Test, Berg Balance and Tinetti scale) and quality of life.
DISCUSSION: Innovation technology, including robotics and telemedicine, may be a valuable tool to improve functional outcomes in patients with severe motor impairment due to chronic CPM. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION A multidisciplinary approach involving robotics plus virtual reality is mandatory to reduce medical and bedridden complications in patients affected by CPM.
