NCT01320839 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 21

Last updated 2014-03-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We hypothesize that: (1) gait stability will be increased when wearing an ankle-foot orthosis (plastic brace supporting the foot and ankle); (2) an attention demanding task will decrease gait stability and (3) the improvement in gait stability due to ankle-foot orthosis use will be greater during an attention demanding task.
