Hypophosphatemia: individual rehabilitation paths
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disease that can cause rickets and significant skeletal deformities.
Dr. Fabrizio Gervasoni, physiatrist, and scientific director – Measurement and Movement Laboratory (Me.Mo. Lab) – Nemo Lab in Milan, is carrying out a study on patients suffering from this pathology, in collaboration with the Japanese pharmaceutical company Kyowa Kirin.
Patients are analyzed with our walking and movement laboratory, BTS GAITLAB, at the Nemo Lab clinical research hub in Milan. This study highlights the importance of investigating the aspects related to the movement of these patients, in order to create a personalized rehabilitation program.
The aim is to set up physio therapeutic work not only on the traumatized anatomical structures but also on the patient’s movement patterns, on his way of walking and carrying out all his daily activities.
