He underwent TATTR on January 19th, 2025. Then, he underwent a rehabilitation program combined joint mobility recovery, progressive strengthening, proprioceptive training using the Pro-Kin 252 system, gait retraining on an antigravity treadmill, and visual-feedback gait optimization with the Walker View device. We assessed Berg Balance, Tinetti, Barthel Index, EQ-5D, stabilometric variables, gait parameters, and passive ankle range of motion at baseline (T0), 1 month (T1), 3 months (T2), and 5 months (T3).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Overall, clinical outcomes improved from baseline to the 5-month follow-up; stabilometric analysis showed marked reductions in eyes-closed ellipse area and perimeter from T0 to T3 (Area T0: 318\u2005mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ; T3: 77\u2005mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ; Perimeter T0: 742.37\u2005mm; T3: 555.27\u2005mm).
