Adaptation of functional gait parameters to a newly provided stiffness-optimized ankle-foot orthosis
After provision of stiffness-optimized ankle-foot-orthoses in people with bilateral calf muscle weakness, no functional gait adaptations were found. However, people demonstrating high gait variability increased step length more compared to those demonstrating lower variability, which might be an indication that variability plays a role in adaptation.
