Introduction: The transverse myelitis is an inflammatory process which involve restricted areas of spinal cord and cause motor, sensitive and autonomic symptoms being a rare neurological disease that describes a heterogenic group of inflammatory disorders.
Objectives: To report results achieved during the high technology rehabilitation at a transverse myelitis with arachnoiditis patient.
Methods: A retrospective case report is done about a 15-year-old patient, female, from Bogota, Colombia, with flaccid paraparesis, sensitive level D8 who receives integral and intensive high-tech rehabilitation for 4 months.
Results: Related directly to improvement in functional aspects such as joint mobility, strength, proprioception, balance, gait and fundamental patterns as jumping and running; which causes the complete recovery of the patient in all activities of daily living without restriction in her social role.
Discussion: The importance of early rehabilitation in these patients, as well as the contribution made by the equipment to the rehabilitation process versus time recovery, to recover lost functions.
Conclusions: The use of high-tech equipment and robotic generate an important.
treatment option for patients with transverse myelitis.
