Rehabilitation while standing.

Paraplegia caused by traumatic vertebrospinal lesions too often signifies paralyzing motor injury, and the rehabilitator is attributed the task of activating all of the rehabilitation procedures aimed at restoring an acceptable level of independence for the patient in terms of self-management and transferral. Traditional rehabilitation protocols have as a maximum objective the strengthening of the districts located above the injury, and their use in motori compensation operations aimed at maintaining the paralyzed region located below the injury. The main aim is that of training the patient to use the wheelchair and to adapt to his or her disability. Still today, many famous foreign spinal centers substitute the term "rehabilitation center" with "adaptation center." Today, we wish to bring the patient back to an erect physiological posture and walking, aided by his or her own limbs. New proposals for rehabilitation are observed that may be defined "rehabilitation while standing."
