To assess the benefit of an anti-varus ankle foot orthosis (CALIGALOC, Bauerfeind) on gait and balance parameters in hemiparetic patients.
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Allocation
NA
Purpose
TREATMENT
Masking
NONE
Enrollment
5
15 days of wearing of the Caligaloc orthosis
Hôpital Swynghedau, CHI
Lille, France
10-meter walk test (in seconds)
Maximum gait velocity, from a standing start
Time frame: comparison between baseline and 15 days
Assessment of gait temporospatial parameters by GaitRite®
Specific temporal and spatial parameters of gait will be measured with the GaitRite gait evaluation system: gait cadence, hemiparetic step length, spatial asymmetry, swing and stance times.
Time frame: comparison between baseline and 15 days
Posturographic analysis during static upright stance (center of pressure surface)
Assessment of displacements of the center of pressure during quiet upright standing for 30s, using a Zebris platform
Time frame: comparison between baseline and 15 days
Baropodometric analysis during gait
Assessment of the paretic footprint during gait, using the Zebris platform
Time frame: comparison between baseline and 15 days
Gait endurance (2-minute walk test)
Assessment of maximum gait perimeter during a 2mwt
Time frame: comparison between baseline and 15 days
Assessment of walking function
Lower Limb Function assessment scale (LL-FAS, Allart et al. 2015) functional subscores
Time frame: comparison between baseline and 15 days
Tolerability of the wearing of the Caligaloc orthosis assessed by visual analog scale
visual analog scale (0=major discomfort - 10=excellent comfort)
Time frame: at 15 days
