Exclusion criteria

1. presence of comorbidities that might prevent patients from undertaking a safe home program or determining clinical instability (i.e., severe orthopedic or severe cognitive deficits); 2. presence of major psychiatric complications or personality disorders; 3. presence of severe impairment of visual and/or acoustic perception; 4. relapse ongoing/at least 3 months since the last relapse (MS group); 5. presence of "frequent" freezing as recorded at the administration of Section II (daily life activity) of the UPDRS (score ≥ 3) (PD group); 6. falls resulting in injuries or a number of falls ≤ 2 in the 6 months prior to recruitment (PD and MS groups).

About this trial

In the sponsor's words

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an innovative telerehabilitation protocol in people with Chronic Neurological Disorders (Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and post-stroke). The main questions it aims to answer are 1)the usability and acceptability of the system; 2)the level of safety of intervention; 3) the efficacy of the telerehabilitation protocol. Participants will be randomized (with an allocation ratio of 1:1) into either the experimental group (20 sessions of motor telerehabilitation with digital and robotic tools) or the active control group (20 motor rehabilitation sessions performed at home according to the usual care treatment procedure). Researchers will compare the experimental group and the active control group to see if the TR protocol with digital and robotic tools is effective in reducing the perceived level of disability.
