Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Effectiveness of the device in injury recovery was measured with the variables "Number of physiotherapy sessions" and "Injury recovery time", which were quantified for each patient after the end of treatment (recovery defined as: no technical assistance or support staff needed to move around) 2. Degree of gait recovery measured by visual inspection by the clinical staff, assessing at the end of treatment whether the patient had fully recovered independent walking to perform their daily functional tasks (no technical assistance or support staff needed to move around), partially (requiring technical assistance such as a conventional walker, wheelchair, etc.) or not recovered walking at all | — |
