Abstract

Objective: Knee- ankle foot orthosis is the most commonly used orthosis in people with post-polio syndrome. Metal KAFOs are the most commonly prescribed orthoses in Iran. However, problems have been reported when using them. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effect of changes in range of motion of metal KAFO ankle joint on BALANCE in patients with Post-polio syndrome.Materials & Methods: 22 post-polio syndrome patients (37-50 yr) from patients of Red Crescent Rehabilitation Center participated in this study. Data were collected using the BALANCE master system (model 8.0.3) with the participants wearing the conventional KAFO and KAFO with increased range of motion of the ankle joint. Data collection was performed with a two weeks follow-up period.Results: In KAFO with increased range of motion of ankle joint, the maximal backward excursion of COG (P<0.002), movement velocity toward the backward (P<0.018) increased significantly when compared to conventional KAFO. The time of weight transfer was reduced while wearing KAFO with increased range of motion of ankle joint in comparison with -conventional KAFO (P<0.002). No significant differences were observed regarding the other parameters.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that change in ankle joint range of motion of metal KAFO can lead in improvement in some indicators related to postural stability in individuals with post-polio syndrome.
