| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of the mechanical feature of the Ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) on the gait of stroke patients. Forty patients in recovery phase were randomly assigned to two groups. One of them used the AFO with plantar flexion stop and the other the AFO with plantar flexion resistance. Both of them took gait training run by physiotherapits using each AFO. The gait without an AFO before training and the gait with each AFO were measured by a 3D motion analysis system and the gait change of both groups was compared. Results showed that the pelvis was inclined forward in the group using the AFO with plantar flexion stop, and the thorax was extended in the group using the AFO with plantar flexion resistance.
