Abstract

The aim of the study: to evaluate the impact of ankle–foot orthosis on diplegic children gait. Participants: There were 6 children with spastic diplegia from 4 to 6 years old. Children were classified by GMFCS accordingly: 2 children – 1st level, 4 children – 2nd level. Ankle spasticity acording to Ashworth scale for children was grade 2 and grade 3. It was full range of movement in the ankle, knee and hip joints. Methods: GMFCS, Modified Ashworth scale, Goniometry, Computerized gait analysis system, Statisti- cal analysis. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that AFO decreased knee flexion at initial contact, and peak knee flexion at stance phase (p<0,05). Also AFO decreased hip flexion at initial contact. In other joints there were no significant changes. Practical recommendation: There is a tendency that AFO has positive impact on spastic diplegic chil- dren gait. In this case we recommend to wears that AFO while walking. Furthermore it is recommended to use 3D gait analisis for prescribing suitable AFO.
