Objective: To retrospectively analyze the demographic characteristics of patients receiving robotic rehabilitation treatment and examine various parameters such as walking distance, speed, and time before and after treatment. Material and Method: Between 2019 and 2021, 136 patients who received robotic rehabilitation therapy were analyzed. 136 patients were divided into 3 groups-hemiplegia, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury groups. Walking distance, speed and time recorded in the Lokomat device on the first and last day of treatment were recorded. Results: Of the 136 patients, 62 were male (45.5%) and 74 (54.5%) were female. The number of patients treated with hemiplegia, cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury was 46 (33.8%), 30 (22%) and 60 (44.1%), respectively. In all the three diagnostic groups, a significant increase was observed in the walking time, distance, and speed recorded in the Lokomat device on the first and last day of treatment (p <0.001). No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of walking parameters (p >0.05). Conclusion: We believe that this treatment approach is effective in the neurological rehabilitation group [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease) is still an important problem in many countries and may result in severe neurological deficits. Pott's paraplegia can occur in the early period of the disease or many years later. Pott's disease usually occurs in the thoracic vertebrae and may cause neurological symptoms as a consequence of bone destruction and spinal cord compression. In this article, we present the case of a 73-year-old diagnosed with Pott's paraplegia who was referred to our clinic with back pain. He had been previously diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and had received anti-TB therapy. After five weeks of an intensive rehabilitation program, the patient could walk independently and was discharged with minimal dependency. We conclude that there should be more awareness of the possibility of non-traumatic spinal cord injuries in elderly patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
