Effects of Ankle Foot Orthoses on Restricted Ankle Joint Dorsiflexion Due to Plantarflexors Stiffness in People with Stroke: A Scoping Review
Background: Orthotic interventions such as different types of ankle foot orthoses have been widely suggested to either prevent or treat restricted ankle joint dorsiflexion and consequent equinus or equinovarus foot deformities in people with stroke. However, it is not clear whether orthotic inter...

| description | Background: Orthotic interventions such as different types of ankle foot
orthoses have been widely suggested to either prevent or treat restricted ankle
joint dorsiflexion and consequent equinus or equinovarus foot deformities in
people with stroke. However, it is not clear whether orthotic interventions are
effective against spasticity or stiffness. Therefore, this systematic review aimed
to systematically review the effect of orthotic interventions on restricted ankle
joint dorsiflexion due to plantarflexor stiffness.
Review of literature: An electronic database search was performed using
PubMed, ISI web of sciences, Scopous within 1990-2018. A set of search terms
were derived from medical subject heading (MESH). A total of 486 potential
articles were identified through database search. Following title screening
and reviewing abstract, 60 articles were potentially relevant to undergo full
consideration. Full text article review counted this number down to 2.
Discussion: Studies found significant decreased plantarflexor stiffness
indicated by increased ankle passive dorsiflexion range of motion after orthotic
interventions.
Conclusion: There are only a few studies which have objectively assessed the
effects of orthotic interventions on restricted ankle joint dorsiflexion due
to plantarflexor stiffness in stroke. A comprehensive study would provide
insight into the effectiveness of orthotic interventions on restricted ankle joint
dorsiflexion due to plantarflexor stiffness. |
