Table 3.
Degree of recuperation of reflectivity and motility after physiotherapy (60 patients).
| No. of Physiotherapy Sessions | Deep Pain and Proprioception | Reflectivity | Motility Recuperation/Description | Gait Score * [37] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial (t0) | absent | absent | absent | 0 |
| 40 | absent | absent in 12/60 patients (20%) |
47/60 (78.33%) of patients stand up fourfold when drinking water or eating and remain in this position for about 30 s to one minute | 5.8 ± 1.44 ** |
| 80 | absent | absent in 12/60 patients (20%) |
47/60 (78.33%) patients stand up quadrupedally and can take at least 10 consecutive steps without falling | 8.7 ± 1.31 ** |
| 125–320 | absent | absent in 12/60 patients (20%) |
35/60 (58.33%) developed spinal walking, being able to walk without falling, or fell only sometimes in the case of a quick look, with a lack of coordination between the thoracic and pelvic limbs and difficulties in turning, especially when changing direction, but with recovery of the quadrupedal position in less than 30 s | 11.6 ± 1.57 ** |
* Note: Gait scores were recorded only for patients showing a degree of motility recuperation and who finally developed SW. ** Significant differences from previous evaluation.
