Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Ankle Foot Orthosis Then Control
Patients will wear an off-the-shelf, carbon composite AFO that is adjusted for them for three months. The patients will be asked to wear the AFO at all times except when they are in bed or showering/bathing. The instructions given to the patients about walking will be to follow the instructions from their doctor regarding risk factor management and exercise. Ankle foot orthosis: Patients will wear an ankle foot orthosis at all times except when he/she is sleeping or bathing for three months.
Control Then Ankle Foot Orthoses
Patients will be asked to follow the instructions from their doctor regarding risk factor management and exercise for three months. Control/standard of care: Patients will carry out with typical activities suggested by their physician for three months.
