  1. 1. Description of Orthotists Level of Involvement in Early Post Stroke Management in Denmark: A Cross-Sectional Survey

    Kandidat-uppsats,

    Författare :Mille Bjerregaard Jørgensen; Laura Ane Jakobsen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :orthotist; perception; involvement; early gait rehabilitation; post stroke; bandagist; mening; involvering; tidlig gangrehabilitering; apopleksi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Following a stroke the ability to walk is often impaired due to compromised motor-control, muscle weakness and spasticity, resulting in deviations during gait. Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) can be used for people with hemiparesis to improve stability during stance phase and clearance during swing phase. LÄS MER

  3. 2. ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FOR ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY : Innovative Design for an Ankle Foot Orthosis

    Master-uppsats, Jönköping University/JTH, Industridesign

    Författare :Theresa Hoai-Thuong Nguyen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Ankle Foot Orthosis; Orthotics; Assistive Technology; 3D Printing; 3D Scanning; Additive Manufacturing; Self-Expression; Personalization; Customization; Human Rights;

    Sammanfattning : The following report presents a Master thesis project about a re-design of an ankle foot orthosis using additive manufacturing as the production method, conducted by a student in Spring 2020 as part of the Master’s programme Industrial Design at Jönköping University’s School of Engineering. Ankle foot orthoses are the most prescribed lower extremity orthoses worldwide and are worn in a visually obtrusive way making patients feel stigmatized for their disability. LÄS MER

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

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Påverkar skon styvheten i ankel-fotortoser? : En funktionell analys

    M1-uppsats, Högskolan i Jönköping/HHJ, Avd. för rehabilitering

    Författare :Josef Sidenvall; Matilda Gustavsson; [2018]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Bakgrund: Varierande styvhet mot dorsal-/plantarflektion i en ankel-fotortos (AFO)kan påverka kinematik och kinetik kring ankel och knä hos personer med cerebral pares eller post-stroke. Kunskap om huruvida skon påverkar styvheten i ett AFO-sko-benkomplex är begränsad. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Et studie om hvilken effekt Range of Motion i en ankel-fod-ortose har på dynamisk balance hos stroke patienter

    L3-uppsats, Högskolan i Jönköping/Hälsohögskolan

    Författare :Lykke Wilhardt Maansson; Line Petersen; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Dynamic balance; Stroke; Ankle-Foot-Orthosis; Center of Pressure; Timed Up and Go test.;

    Sammanfattning : After a stroke, gait and balance are often affected and an orthosis is typically required to facilitate postural control. This study has been conducted to examine how the Range of Motion in an Ankle-Foot-Orthosis (AFO) impacts on stroke patients’ dynamic balance. LÄS MER
