Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Hypothesis 1:

Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait.

H1: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has an effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait.

Hypothesis 2:

Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on pelvic movements in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Kinematic evaluation of the gaits of stroke patients in 3 different situations will be made in the motion analysis system. Patients will be asked to walk at a normal walking pace for a distance of only 5 meters. Patients will walk the 5-meter distance first without the Ankle-Foot Orthosis, then with the Ankle-Foot Orthosis adjusted at 3 degrees of dorsiflexion, and then with the Ankle-Foot Orthosis adjusted at 5 degrees of dorsiflexion.
