| Objective: To study the effect of ankle foot orthosis (AFO) on the barycenter transfer ability of patients with foot drop and equinovarus following stroke. Methods: Forty cases of foot drop and equinovarus following stroke were selected. All patients were assessed by Functional Extension Test and 3 min Timed Up and Go Test before and after wearing AFO. The movement range of the posterior and anterior motions in the paralyzed and non-paralyzed sides, and the improvement of functional activity were compared before and after wearing AFO. Results: After wearing AFO, the movement range of the anterior, posterior motions on the paralyzed and non paralyzed sides was significantly increased as compared with that before wearing (P<0.05), and the values for Timed Up and Go Test were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Conclusions: Barycenter transfer ability in patients with foot drop and equinovarus wearing AFO was improved. |
