About

The present study is designed to investigate whether the behavioral and cognitive functioning might predict the outcome of the rehabilitation of gait related abilities in orthopedic patients submitted to elective surgery (total hip arthroplasty). The evaluation of gait related abilities will be performed with specific physiatric tests, while cognitive functioning will be studied by means of an extended neuropsychological battery.
