This study investigates whether an individualized physiotherapy program, tailored to each patient's specific motor deficits, can better support physical function compared with usual care physiotherapy in people with ALS.
The individualized program is guided by diagnostic assessments using a robotic leg press system, which helps identify strengths and weaknesses in muscle function and movement control.
Participants will receive either individualized physiotherapy or standard physiotherapy and will be followed for 12 months. The aim of the study is to improve physiotherapy strategies for people with ALS in a safe and patient-centered manner.
