About

The main aims of the observational study are to taxonomize the contents of rehabilitation understanding goals and treatments provided to people with Parkinson Disease(PD) and Multiple Sclerosis(MS) and Stroke and their impact on the outcomes

Full description

In recent years, neurological rehabilitation focused on evaluating patient's problems, with no rationalization of therapeutic interventions. Few researches investigated the contribution of the components of a neurorehabilitation program to the clinical outcome in everyday clinical practice. Moreover, there is no a standard method to categorize rehabilitative interventions, making difficult to explain why subjects improve and which of the various treatments is more effective. Thus, it was decided to build a multicentre network to collect data using a taxonomy tool developed to provide information on the goals of rehabilitation and to categorize rehabilitation interventions
