Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The effect of wearing an orthosis on the displacement of the center of pressure in the anterior-posterior direction. Timepoint: Data will be measured once after the volunteer enters the study and once after at least six weeks of using the intervention. Method of measurement: Using the Kistler force platform.;The effect of wearing an orthosis and leading limb on the displacement of the center of pressure in the medial-lateral direction. Timepoint: Data will be measured once after the volunteer enters the study and once after at least six weeks of using the intervention. Method of measurement: Using the Kistler force platform. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The effect of wearing orthosis on the value of the ground reaction force in the anterior-posterior direction. Timepoint: At the study onset and after at least six weeks of using the orthosis. Method of measurement: using the Kistler's force platform.;The effect of using an orthosis on the amount of ground reaction force in the medial-lateral direction. Timepoint: At the study onset and after at least six weeks of using the orthosis. Method of measurement: using the Kistler's force platform.;The effect of using an orthosis on the magnitude of the ground reaction force impulse. Timepoint: At the study onset and after at least six weeks of using the orthosis. Method of measurement: using the Kistler's force platform.;The effect of using an orthosis on the velocity of gait initiation. Timepoint: At the study onset and after at least six weeks of using the orthosis. Method of measurement: Dividing the distance traveled by the body's center of pressure by the time elapsed at the gait initiation.;Duration of gait initiation. Timepoint: At the study onset and after at least six weeks of using the orthosis. Method of measurement: using the Kistler's force platform. | — |
