Summary

This study is designed to see if children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have developed foot drop during treatment for their leukemia consume less oxygen when walking with or without an ankle brace designed to support their foot during walking. In this study children with foot drop are asked to walk for six minutes with and without brace on their ankle. During each walk, the amount of oxygen used is measured. The child wears a face mask which is attached to a device that records how much oxygen they use. The amount of oxygen used during the walk with the brace on will be compared to the amount of oxygen used with the brace off.
