In a preliminary report investigating the effect of robot assisted gait training in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) it was shown how the training was feasible, acceptable and safe for all participants who completed the prescribed training sessions. All patients showed an improvement in the gait spatiotemporal index (Mean velocity, Cadence, Step length, and Step width) (T0 vs.T1). The positive results on improvement in spatiotemporal parameter of the PSP subject induced by task-specific repetitive robotic approach and the lack of side effects, strongly recommend extending the use of a this approach in the recovery of gait performance.
