Résumé : |
Objective To examine the effects of an anterior ankle-foot orthosis (AAFO) on walking mobility in stroke patients. Design Cross-sectional and repeated-measures study design. Setting A university's neurologic rehabilitation department. Participants Ambulant stroke patients (N=21). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Walking mobility was measured by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the Timed Up and Down Stairs (TUDS) test. The paired t test was used to determine the difference between the mobility performances measured with and without the AAFO. Results There were significant differences between mobility performances with and without an AAFO in the TUG test (P=.038) and the TUDS test (P=.000). Conclusions This study supports the effect of an AAFO on walking mobility in stroke patients. The findings demonstrate that stroke patients wearing an AAFO may ambulate with greater speed and safety on level surfaces and stairs. |
