Dataset about the effectiveness of treadmill-based virtual-reality biofeedback training to improve gait function in children and adolescents with congenital and acquired brain injury

This dataset was collected at IRCCS E. Medea (Italy) and at Alyn Pediatric and Adolescent Rehabilitation Hospital (Israel).

Data were collected from 135 participants (CP: n=61; ABI: n=74) aged 12.4±3.5 years, at two rehabilitation centres with varying training protocols, (ranging between 5 to 24 training sessions). Participants completed a series of VR treadmill-based biofeedback sessions with the GRAIL (Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab, Motek) targeting gait function, gait quality, or balance. Gait function was assessed using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), self-selected walking speed (SSWS), and the Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire Walking Scale (FAQ-WS).

The database includes few missing data :

8888- missing data because it is not relevant (e.g time since injury for the CP group)9999- missing data due to an unknown reason#Null!- empty cells
