Paper walkways to measure gait impairments \u2013 stride length, step length, symmetry, cadence and velocity. Face-to-face questionnaire to determine the users' opinion of the hinged AFO. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: Comparison of gait with and without the hinged AFO showed significant improvements in functional mobility (p = 0.000) and in some gait impairments; stride length of the weak (p &lt; 0.005, 95% CI \u20138.1, \u20131.6) and sound legs (p &lt; 0.014, 95% CI \u20138, \u20131), velocity (p = 0.00, 95% CI \u20130.1, \u20130.03) and cadence (p &lt; 0.002, 95% CI \u201315.1, \u20133.8). No effect was found for step length in the weak or sound leg or symmetry. The subjects' response was positive, 24 (96%) felt they walked better with the AFO and found it comfortable. Twenty-three (92%) were unbothered by the appearance and 16 (64%) could doff and don it. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion: The hinged AFO improved objective measures of gait impairments and disability and patients were positive about it. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1191\/026921501673858908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,5,13]],"date-time":"2003-05-13T05:30:08Z","timestamp":1052803808000},"page":"53-58","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":135,"title":["The effect of a hinged ankle foot orthosis on hemiplegic gait: objective measures and users' opinions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"S F","family":"Tyson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research in Rehabilitation, Department of Health Studies, Brunel University, Isleworth"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H A","family":"Thornton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Rehabilitation Unit, Northwick Park Hospital Trust, Harrow, Middlesex, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004356-199606000-00004"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"1197","volume":"68","author":"Burdett RG","year":"1988","journal-title":"Phys Ther"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/70.7.423"},{"issue":"2","key":"atypb4","first-page":"86","volume":"4","author":"Mueller K","year":"1992","journal-title":"J Prosthet Orthot"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-9993(96)90138-0"},{"key":"atypb6","first-page":"402","volume":"64","author":"Lehmann JF","year":"1983","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"atypb7","first-page":"763","volume":"68","author":"Lehmann JF","year":"1987","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"issue":"8","key":"atypb8","first-page":"97","volume":"28","author":"Lehmann JF","year":"1993","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Rel Res"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"Neurological physiotherapy: a problem solving approach","author":"Edwards S","year":"1996"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/66.10.1530"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/64.1.35"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/03790799009166594"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09593989809057150"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09593989609036422"},{"key":"atypb15","volume-title":"Neurological rehabilitation: optimising human performance","author":"Carr J","year":"1998"},{"key":"atypb16","first-page":"91","volume":"5","author":"Hangar H","year":"1991","journal-title":"Clin Rehabil"},{"key":"atypb17","volume-title":"Adult hemiplegia, evaluation and treatment","author":"Bobath B","year":"1990"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-96833-4"}],"container-title":["Clinical Rehabilitation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1191\/026921501673858908","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1191\/026921501673858908","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,4]],"date-time":"2025-03-04T16:53:36Z","timestamp":1741107216000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1191\/026921501673858908"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2001,2]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2001,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1191\/026921501673858908"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1191\/026921501673858908","relation":{},"ISSN":["0269-2155","1477-0873"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0269-2155","type":"print"},{"value":"1477-0873","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2001,2]]}}}
