Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of two models of rehabilitation: * traditional neurological rehabilitation, and * neurological rehabilitation combined with a rehabilitation robot (Luna by EGZOTech). An additional goal is to test the qualitative diagnostic reference using the surface electromyogram of the Luna robot (certified as a Medical Device) for functional diagnostics based on standardized clinical tests.
