Abstract:
A retrospective study was done on the effects of a change in the design of ankle-foot orthoses used in the treatment of 29 hemiplegic children. Nine of 13 children treated with plantarflexed ankle-foot orthoses required surgery, compared with only one of 16 with dorsiflexed ankle-foot orthoses. This difference is highly significant.
