- Brief Summary
Seventeen patients in the AFO-OD group and 19 in the nonarticulated AFO group were compared. The ankle joint was more dorsiflexed in paretic stance phase in AFO-OD group. Peak power absorption of the ankle joint in single stance was significantly larger in AFO-OD group(p=0.007) but showed wide variation. There was no significant difference in the peak power generation in preswing or in spatial or temporal parameters, ground reaction force, or shank-to-vertical angle between the two groups.
