Brief summary

The main goal of the study is to verify the efficacy of the GRAIL system in respect to the walking pattern improvement in a population of hemiparetic subjects. In particular, the specific goals will be: * increase in walking symmetry and a better distribution among the time of stance and swing. * Kinematics and Kinetics correction, with incentive of more corrected activation timing. * Recruitment of the muscles most involved by the paresis, with the help of visual feedback. * walking speed increase (but with the priority of the walking pattern) * increase in the resistance * Stregthening of the support reaction

Interventions

DEVICEGRAIL population

each subjects included in the intervention group will receive 20 GRAIL sessions, aimed to the walking pattern improvement, associated with 20 traditional physiotherapy sessions, aimed to the stabilization of the trained competences

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Gait Analysis	1 month	Analysis of the walking pattern performed with traditional gait analysis lab and with GRAIL system
Gross Motor Functional Movement	1 month	Assessment of the kinetic function, divided into 5 dimensions, range from 0 to 88, 0 meaning worse scores and 88 healthy subjects.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
6 Minute Walking Test	1 month	recording of the distance run by the patient in a lapse of time of 6 minutes
Functional Assessment Questionaire	1 month	Questionaire Filled in by the patients or by the parents, on the perception of the walking ability, range from 1 (subjects unable to step) to 10 (healthy subjects)
