Brief summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the short effects of a two rehabilitation session commonly performed in physical therapy, 1. muscle strengthening of the lower limbs and 2. effort reconditioning with cyclo ergometer, on gait characteristics (kinematics, kinetics and electromyographic) in patients with central nervous system lesion.
