简要总结
The purpose of this study is to verify if the incorporation of a new brace, which assists in gait rehabilitation, can contribute to the rehabilitation process for stroke patients.
详细描述
Objective To compare the behavior of plantar pressure peak distribution, before and after training using a brace for gait rehabilitation.
Method The brace was developed with the aim of promoting better biomechanical alignment, as well as providing proprioceptive information in order to stimulate action in the knee's flexor muscle groups, thus facilitating the activation pattern contrary to what occurs during genu recurvatum. We conducted a quasi-experimental "before and after" study with twelve hemiparetic adult patients who had genu recurvatum in the gait. The plantar pressure peaks were compared at the various moments of the study.

入选标准
- •the presence of hemiparesis after the stroke, with an evolution time of between 6 and 24 months, the ability to walk without using assistive aids, and the presence of genu recurvatum during the mid-stance in the gait.
排除标准
- •conditions that would preclude evaluation and training with the brace; for example, the presence of contractures or fixed deformities in the lower limbs, and moderate to severe impairments related to cognition, perception, attention, or language
