Summary

Hypothesis 1: Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. H1: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has an effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. Hypothesis 2: Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on pelvic movements in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. H1: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has an effect on pelvic movements in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait.

Detailed description

Kinematic evaluation of the gaits of stroke patients in 3 different situations will be made in the motion analysis system. Patients will be asked to walk at a normal walking pace for a distance of only 5 meters. Patients will walk the 5-meter distance first without the Ankle-Foot Orthosis, then with the Ankle-Foot Orthosis adjusted at 3 degrees of dorsiflexion, and then with the Ankle-Foot Orthosis adjusted at 5 degrees of dorsiflexion.
