Abstract Background Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are orthotic devices that can be used to
normalize the walking pattern of children with cerebral palsy (CP). One of the aims of orthotic …

Objective: To determine the effects of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) on gait, balance, gross
motor function and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy. Data sources: Five …

Individuals with neuromuscular impairment from conditions like cerebral palsy face reduced
quality of life due to diminishing mobility and independence. Lower-limb exoskeletons have …

The high energy cost of walking in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) contributes
significantly to reduced mobility and quality of life. The purpose of this paper was to develop …

Aim To estimate the impact of dynamic motor control on treatment outcomes in children with
cerebral palsy. Method We used multiple regression on a retrospective cohort of 473 …

Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) are prescribed to improve the patient's quality of life. Supporting
weak muscles or restraining spastic muscles leads to smoother and more stable locomotion …

Robotic devices can provide physical assistance to people who have suffered neurological
impairments such as stroke. Neurological disorders related to this condition induce …

Background A primary goal of treatment for children with cerebral palsy is improved walking
ability to allow for a more active and independent lifestyle. With the importance of ankle …

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of motor disability in children
and can cause severe gait deviations. The sagittal gait patterns classification for children …

Passive ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are often prescribed for children with cerebral palsy (CP)
to assist locomotion, but predicting how specific device designs will impact energetic …
