Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Foot drop following surgery or an accident (functional calf, without contracture and not spastic)
  • Foot drop following a Cerebral Vascular Accident (with or without spasticity, mild to moderate)
  • Ability to stand and walk alone without technical assistance
  • Ability to communicate comfort/discomfort

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Sore to one of the feet

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Arm Description

People with left or right foot drop

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Knee flexion angle during gait
Maximum, minimum and range of motion of the knee flexion angle during gait.
Hip flexion angle during gait
Maximum, minimum and range of motion of the hip flexion angle during gait.
Minimum foot clearance
Minimum foot clearance is defined as the minimum distance between the foot and the ground during swing.
Comfort of participants with orthosis
Comfort is measured with a Likert scale from 1 (not comfortable) to 5 (very comfortable).
Easy to put on orthosis
Easy to put on is measured with a Likert scale from 1 (very difficult) to 5 (very easy).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this research is to compare the new ankle foot orthosis (AFO) with prior support developed by Turbomed, with the AFO with posterior support from Turbomed as well as two competing AFOs currently on the market. With this research, we seek to answer the following questions: Is the new AFO as biomechanically efficient as the AFOs currently on the market? Is the new AFO more comfortable than the AFO currently on the market? Is the new AFO easier to put on and attach than the AFOs currently on the market?
