Brief summary
Analyze the geometric and kinematic parameters of the spine in patients undergoing vertebrectomy through gait analysis, both during the execution of motor tasks such as walking, standing, and basic trunk movements, with the aim of improving the assessment and, therefore, possibly, the treatment and the final clinical outcome.
Interventions

en bloc resection of oncological vertebra

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gait Analysis | 6 months after vertebrectomy | Measure and correlate geometric and kinematic parameters of the trunk and spine through instrumental motion analysis, before and after vertebrectomy surgery in patients with oncological spinal diseases. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| questionnaire | 6 months after vertebrectomy | Evaluate patient-reported functional outcomes through self-administered questionnaires: Oswestry Disability Index and Fall Efficacy Scale-International |
| spino-pelvic parameters | 6 months after vertebrectomy | Measure the geometric spino-pelvic parameters (static) and compare them with the kinematic parameters (dynamic) |
