PURPOSE : The objective of this study was to identify wearing ankle foot orthosis(AFO) affected on balanced performances with a balance master.
METHOD : 30 healthy persons participated. Participants were tested by balance master system. A total of 4 measurements were analyzed determine ankle foot orthosis affected on balanced perfomances.
RESULT : Wearing AFO status demonstrated wider area of sway(˚) when unilateral stance on firm surface with eye closed in modified clinical test sensory interaction on balance. Shifting not wearing AFO direct movement velocity is reduced in limit of stability test. And there was reduced that axis velocity and directional control in though
rhythmic weight shift.
CONCLUSION : The result showed that wearing orthosis for prevent foot drop.
Further developing orthosis for prevent foot drop is needed that increase balance ability.
