Evaluation of the Effect of an Ankle Foot Orthoses for Ambulatory Function

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of a lower leg brace on walking efficiency and community walking in people who have weakness in one side of the body caused after a stroke. The evaluation will consist of several tests that will evaluate movement, tightness, balance and sensation in affected leg.

Clinical Trial Description

To comprehensively evaluate the effect of an AFO on ambulatory function and loading in hemiplegic gait. This study is addressing important questions regarding the effect of an AFO on gait and introduces technology for quantifiable objective assessment of AFO effectiveness. It will attempt to identify if AFO wear compliance increases community ambulation and walking efficiency bilaterally. Research is needed to fully understand how compliance affects mobility outcomes. ;
