Abstract

Loss of strength in foot dorsiflexors, gravity, and the effect of plantar flexor lead to keep the foot in plantar flexion, and thus not to dorsiflexion. This condition is called drop foot deformity. Drop foot is symptom of many diseases and cause a non-aesthetic walk, fall and injury. The most common cause of drop foot is peroneal nerve injury.Ankle-foot orthoses AFO is useful in the treatment extensor muscle paralysis of leg. Carbon graphite AFO, thin base design and open-heel structure allows for comfortable use shoes with all kind s of. Lightweight carbon-fiber structure and the medial and lateral shafts increases the motion ability of patients of high level of activation. The aim of this study in a drop-foot patient to to emphasize Carbon Graphite AFO that the positive effects on the balance and the functional ambulation activities

Özet

Ayak dorsifleksörlerinin kuvvet kaybı, yerçekimi ve plantar fleksörlerin etkisi ile ayağın plantar fleksiyonda kalmasına; dolayısı ile dorsifleksiyon yapamamasına yol açar. Bu durum düşük ayak deformitesi olarak adlandırılır. Düşük ayak pek çok hastalığın semptomudur ve estetik olmayan bir yürüyüşe, düşmeye ve yaralanmalara yol açar. Düşük ayağın en yaygın nedeni peroneal sinir yaralanmasıdır. Ayakayak bileği ortezleri AFO ayağın ekstansör kas paralizisi tedavisinde faydalıdır. Karbon Grafit AFO, ince taban dizaynı ve açık topuk yapısı sayesinde her türlü ayakkabı ile rahat kullanım imkanı sağlar. Hafif karbon fiber yapısı ile medial ve lateral milleri, aktivasyon seviyesi yüksek hastaların hareket kabiliyetini arttırır. Bu çalışmanın amacı düşük ayaklı bir olguda Karbon Grafit AFO’nun fonksiyonel ambulasyon aktiviteleri ve denge üzerine olumlu etkileri olduğunu vurgulamaktır
