Comparison of the effects of pneumatic ankle-foot orthosis and posterior leaf spring ankle-foot orthosis on spatiotemporal parameters of gait and ankle range of motion in patients with stroke: a preliminary study

Background: Chronic stroke patients face impairment due to ankle dorsiflexor weakness that can influence their ankle kinematics and gait. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of a pneumonic ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) with those of a posterior leaf spring (PLS) AFO on the spatiotempo...
