Leg orthosis treatment for a patient with left parietal foot amputation and right hemiplegia.
In developing a training program from standing to walking for a patient with a left parietal foot amputation and right hemiplegia, we found that the leg orthosis was effective in allowing the patient to regain the balancing ability when standing. The leg orthosis had practical effects on increasing walking distance.
