Summary

hemiplegia is a pathological condition that affects one side of the body which is associated with difficulty in maintaining an upright posture and walking and which is commonly compensated for by using orthoses (AFO). However, the orthoses are inadequate for sports from a design and prescription point of view, which specifies that the goal of the orthosis is to support walking and that any other use compromises its reliability.

The main objective therefore provides for an improvement in the involvement of these children in sports activities (both at school and during leisure time) through the development of new generation orthoses.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

DEVICE

experimental ankle foot orthosis

On the basis of an accurate kinetic and kinematic analysis, a customized orthosis in thermoplastic material with carbon inserts will be created that will make the brace more elastic and facilitate the child's motor activities.

DEVICE

traditional ankle foot orthosis

The normal afos in thermoplastic material, while guaranteeing an ankle joint stability, make the joint more rigid and reduce the elasticity of movement especially during running, jumping and sprinting.
