There is some uncertainty regarding how foot orthoses (FO) affect the biomechanics of the lower extremities during running in non-injured individuals. This study aims to describe the behavior of the a...
To help improve outcomes for children with cerebral palsy (CP), ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) and supramalleolar orthoses (SMOs) are prescribed. However, it is not clear why one intervention is prescribe...

Six databases were searched (eg, Medline) and data extracted from articles that met the inclusion criteria. Data describing the participant demographics, type of orthosis, and outcome measures used we...
Forty-seven articles were included. Participants were aged 9 ± 2 years, 59% were male, 79% had diplegia, and 38% were classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System level I. All studies incl...
A large and contemporary body of literature describes the rationale for prescribing AFOs for children with CP. There are opportunities for future research that clearly articulates the rationale for pr...
For children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a rare genetic bone disease, walking can be difficult to carry out due to a combination of bone fragility and deformity, muscle weakness, joint hypermob...
Twenty-three children with OI and hypermobility (mean age 8.3 ± 3.0 years) were included in this cross-sectional study. Children conducted three-dimensional gait analysis barefoot, and with foot ortho...
When walking with foot orthoses, the external foot progression angle was reduced, peak ankle dorsiflexion angle increased, and peak plantarflexion moment increased as compared to barefoot. No differen...
The observed gait alterations suggest that foot orthoses, aiming to support the foot and ankle joint, contributed to reduced overall foot rotation as measured by external foot progression, increased p...

Customized foot orthoses (CFOs) are often recommended for the management of plantar heel pain. However, there is a lack of information regarding lower limb and multi-segment foot motion during gait....
This study aimed to determine the effects of heat moulded CFOs on foot and lower limb kinematics when compared with prefabricated foot orthoses (PFOs) and wearing no orthoses (shod condition), and to ...
The immediate effects of CFOs on the lower limb and multi-segment foot motion were assessed. Participants were then asked to use the CFOs for one month and foot pain, function, and temporal-spatial pa...
Thirty-five participants (22 females), aged 40.1 (10.5) years, with a mean duration of symptoms of 12.59 months were recruited. The symptomatic limbs showed a higher forefoot varus angle and greater r...
CFOs appear to improve pathological biomechanics associated with plantar heel pain. After one month follow up, the CFOs decreased pain intensity and increased foot function, and showed significant imp...
To compare the walking performances of hemiplegic subjects with chronic stroke under 3 conditions: with a new standard carbon fibre ankle foot orthosis (C-AFO), with a personal custom-made plastic AFO...
Randomized, controlled crossover design....
Fifteen chronic patients with stroke (3 women and 12 men, 59 [10] years, 13 [15] years since injury)....
Patients performed 3 randomized sessions (with C-AFO, P-AFO, no-AFO), consisting of a 6-min walk test (6MWT) with VO2 measurement and a clinical gait analysis. Energy cost (Cw), walking speed, spatio-...
No significant differences were found between the C-AFO and P-AFO conditions. Distance and walking speed in the 6MWT increased by 12% and 10% (p < 0.001) and stride width decreased by -8.7% and -13% (...
The use of an off-the-shelf composite AFO (after a short habituation period) in patients with chronic stroke immediately improved energy cost and gait outcomes to the same extent as their usual custom...
Passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthoses (PD-AFOs) are often prescribed to address plantar flexor weakness during gait, which is commonly observed after stroke. However, limited evidence is available to in...
Mechanical cost-of-transport, self-selected walking speed, and key biomechanical variables were measured while individuals greater than six months post-stroke walked with No AFO, with their SOC AFO, a...
Twenty participants completed study activities. Mechanical cost-of-transport and self-selected walking speed improved with the stiffness-customized PD-AFOs compared to No AFO and SOC AFO. However, thi...
Stiffness-customized PD-AFOs can improve the mechanical cost-of-transport and self-selected walking speed in many individuals post-stroke, as compared to No AFO and participants' standard of care AFO....
NCT04619043....
Hinged ankle foot orthoses (HAFO) are commonly prescribed for children with cerebral palsy (CP) to improve their ambulatory function....
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of vibration-HAFO with that of the same orthosis without vibration on gait, function, and spasticity in hemiplegic CP children....
Randomized Control Trial Design (a pilot study)....
Twenty-three children with hemiplegic CP participated in this study. The control group (n = 12) used HAFO, and the intervention group (n = 11) used vibration-HAFO for four weeks. Pre-post three-dimens...
Results showed significant differences between the two groups in the one-minute walking test (p = 0.023) and spasticity (after intervention [p = 0.022], after follow-up [p = 0.020]). Also, significant...
The vibration-hinged AFO is feasible, safe, and acceptable for children with hemiplegic CP to be integrated into practice. Temporospatial and clinical parameters, especially spasticity, were improved....
Cerebral palsy (CP) is an umbrella term where an injury to the immature brain affects muscle tone and motor control, posture, and at times, the ability to walk and stand. Orthoses can be used to impro...
Aggregated data on 8,928 participants in the national follow-up programs for CP for the respective countries were used. Finland does not have a national follow-up program for individuals with CP and t...
The proportion of AFO use was highest in Scotland (57%; CI 54-59%) and lowest in Denmark (35%; CI 33-38%). After adjusting for GMFCS level, children in Denmark, Finland, and Iceland had statistically ...
In this study, the use of AFOs in children with CP in countries with relatively similar healthcare systems, differed between countries, age, GMFCS level, and CP subtype. This indicates a lack of conse...
Individuals with subacute severe hemiplegia often undergo alternate gait training to overcome challenges in achieving walking independence. However, the ankle joint setting in a knee-ankle-foot orthos...
This study included 14 participants with subacute stroke (67.4 ± 13.3 years). The CoP parameters and muscle activity of the gastrocnemius lateralis (GCL) and soleus muscles were compared using a linea...
Anterior-posterior displacement of CoP (AP_CoP) (p = 0.011) and muscle activity of the GCL (p = 0.043) increased in the free condition of ankle dorsiflexion compared with that in the fixed condition. ...
For individuals with severe subacute hemiplegia, the ankle dorsiflexion induction in the KAFO, which did not impede the forward tilt of the shank, promotes anterior movement in the CoP and muscle acti...
Patients who suffer from foot drop have impaired gait pattern functions and a higher risk of stumbling and falling. Therefore, they are usually treated with an assistive device, a so-called ankle-foot...
