Effect of early compensation of distal motor deficiency by the Chignon ankle-foot orthosis on gait in hemiplegic patients: a randomized pilot study

Objective: To compare the effect of the Chignon ankle-foot orthosis on gait versus a standard ankle-foot orthosis. Method: A multicentre randomized study was conducted in seven rehabilitation centres. Hemiplegic patients were recruited after unilateral stroke lasting less than six months. Exclusion...
