Abstract
Background: Stroke is a disabling condition that has a significant negative impact on patients’ gait, specifically the ankle joint complex leading to poor physical functioning and less social participation. Purpose: This review aimed to determine the effect of using different types of ankle foot orthoses during gait training on the gait parameters of stroke patients who have dynamic equinus or impaired ankle control. Methods: A comprehensive search of Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar was conducted using keywords such as Stroke, Solid Ankle-Foot orthosis, Articulated ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), Gait training. The search for literature was restricted to English-language publications, and articles published between Jan. 2015 and Jan. 2025 were included. Abstracts of smaller scientific studies, conference papers, dissertations, oral presentations, and unpublished works were not included. Conclusion: The review suggests that using different types of Ankle Foot Orthoses during gait training has the potential to improve gait quality in stroke patients with some studies leaning towards the articulated or dynamic Ankle Foot Orthoses. However, more studies are needed to confirm these findings. This review concluded that using different types of Ankle Foot Orthoses as an intervention during gait training for stroke patients can improve the quality of gait, and the articulated and dynamic AFO is more preferable than non- articulated one.
