Kinematics analysis of ankle dorsiflexion when using the modified orthosis in order to increase stability in the moment of heel strike with the ground (original) (raw)

2017

Abstract

In this study, an investigation was done in order to increase stability of ankle and reduce injuries resulting twist while using aid orthosis and effort in providing superior samples. Therefore this study aims to investigate the effect of ankle hinged Stirrup brace on the Sagittal position of ankle joint in healthy individuals. Eighteen healthy subjects participated in this quasi-experimental study (8 males, 10 females) aged 19 to 30 years. Individuals were selected by non-random sampling and accessible sampling type based on inclusion criteria. Dorsiflexion angle at the moment of heel contact with the ground while walking in the 3 different steps of test with just shoes, shoes with articulated Stirrup brace, shoes with modified articulated Stirrup brace (stretch strep) was recorded by using (VICON Motion Systems) motion analysis system. For comparison of the supposed positions also paired t test was used. Articulated ankle brace have no significant effect on the ankle joint sagitta...
