Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess the interest of prefabricated carbon fiber ankle foot orthoses (AFO) in children and teenagers with central or peripheral neurological pathologies. The main question it aims to answer is: Does prefabricated carbon AFO improve gait and provide user satisfaction? In current practice, all patients with gait impairments were fitted with this orthosis and had a 3D gait analysis with and without AFO. Biomecanical and follow-up data collected in current practice are analysed in this study in order to answer the question.
