| Research Abstract |
In the rehabilitation for the patients that lower limbs dysfunction including the stroke, gait is an important training problem. During the gait training, ankle-foot orthosis is frequently used to restrict their ankle joint motion. However, because of limitation of ankle motion, acquisition of able-bodied gait becomes theoretically impossible and the goal of gait pattern in this situation is still not clear. We hypothesized that the goal of gait training for patients using an ankle-foot orthosis is to enable them to acquire the gait of an able-bodied individual who is fitted with an ankle-foot orthosis rather than a normal gait. Our study investigated the gait pattern of able-bodied individual who is fitted with an AFO and clarified a part of the gait pattern index that could become the aim of the patient's training.
