Changes in muscle activity of ankle plantar fractures during the second half of the walking stance phase in patients with ankle fractures by wearing trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force - Effect of trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force on gait in patients with ankle fractures

Only with trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force, the muscle activity of the lateral head of the affected gastrocnemius improved significantly, and significant improvement in walking speed was observed only after trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force was worn and removed. No significant improvement was observed in combination with Nordic poles.
