AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study investigates how a newly designed multi joint ankle-foot orthosis affects the walking and balancing abilities of stroke patients with foot drop.
  • - It involved 15 stroke patients, using various tests like the 10-meter walk test and timed up and go test to measure improvements while wearing both a standard plastic orthosis and the new multi joint orthosis.
  • - Results indicated significant improvements in mobility and balance when using the new orthosis, suggesting that its multiple joint functions could enhance recovery for stroke patients with foot drop.

Article Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the newly designed multi joint ankle-foot orthosis on the gait and dynamic balance of stroke patients having foot drop. [Subjects and Methods] This study was conducted with 15 subjects who were diagnosed with stroke. 10-meter walk test, functional reaching test and timed up and go test were measured after each subjects wore a plastic ankle-foot orthosis and a multi joint ankle-foot orthosis that consists of orthosis joints (having free joint, anterior-stop joint, poster-stop joint, and Klenzak joint functions). In the case of the newly developed multi joint ankle-foot orthosis, the experiments were performed using posterior-stop joint and Klenzak joint. [Results] 10-meter walk test, functional reaching test and timed up and go test showed significant differences in the orthosis using posterior joint-stop function and Klenzak joint function. [Conclusion] The appropriate use of the four functions of the newly designed multi joint ankle-foot orthosis is expected to have a positive effect on improving the gait and balancing ability of stroke patients having foot drop.
