Objective: To assess Ankle-Foot-Orthosis (AFO) requirement and ambulation in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) patients seen over a period of 4 y at a multi-disciplinary Neuromuscular disorders clinic (NMD).

2016年6月1日 · Orthosis use prevents muscle contracture and prolongs ambulation in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, its biomechanical effects on gait are unclear. This study assessed the effects of daytime and night-time use of Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) on kinematic, kinetic and spatial/temporal gait parameters of DMD ...

踝足矫形器 简称afo，是应用最广泛、最常见的矫形器，主要适用于小孩脑瘫、偏瘫及不完全性截瘫等患者。 经过多年的观察发现，有些患者由于矫形器穿戴使用不当，没有达到应有的效果。

2016年11月5日 · Ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is generally prescribed in DMD patients with foot-drop deformity, but it can be used as resting splint, walking splint or both [14, 15]. Some patients are provided with longer orthosis like knee-ankle-foot orthosis as both walking and resting splints [ …

The aim of this pilot study was to describe the effects of dynamic response AFO (DR-AFO) use in boys with DMD who are ambulatory. Methods: Using a crossover design, 3 boys were randomly assigned to either a 2-week DR-AFO or a placebo intervention. Phases were separated by a 1-week washout period.

Due to the need for more information in the scientific literature on the use and prescription of an orthosis, the current study aims to verify the prescription and use of AFO for walking boys with DMD in a cohort followed at a Brazilian neuromuscular center.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness that affects functional mobility and participation of boys with DMD, generally by the age of 5 years. Proximal weakness of pelvic, hip, and quadriceps muscles occurs earliest and is more pronounced than distal lower extremity ...
