  6. 10. In vivo muscle morphology comparison between walking with and without ankle-foot orthosis in healthy adults. : A feasibility cross over study.

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Vilma Thunberg; Anna Jansson; [2020]
    Keywords : Stroke; AFO; orthosis; quadriceps; ultrasound.; Stroke; AFO; ortos; quadriceps; ultraljud;

    Abstract : Background:People who have survived a stroke often have post-stroke complications. One common complication is muscle weakness in the lower extremities. To treat this, patients can use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle morphology in the quadriceps when walking with an AFO. READ MORE
