Influence of Rehabilitation Aid Use on Obstacle Height During Gait in Patients with Foot Drop: A Case Series Study

Rehabilitation aids reduced impact at initial contact, enhanced frontal plane stability, improved knee flexion and ankle alignment during the propulsion transition phase, and contributed to reduced variability and improved gait stability. The findings suggest potential utility for public health implications ambulation over curbs and thresholds, warranting larger, adequately powered clinical outcome trials.

Abstract

Rehabilitation aids reduced impact at initial contact, enhanced frontal plane stability, improved knee flexion and ankle alignment during the propulsion transition phase, and contributed to reduced variability and improved gait stability. The findings suggest potential utility for public health implications ambulation over curbs and thresholds, warranting larger, adequately powered clinical outcome trials.
