Study Summary
This study will collect information on the different ways that people walk, that is, their gait, when they use ankle braces. Patients will visit NIH on at least three and as many as nine separate occasions. A physical therapist will perform a physical examination to determine how patients move, how strong they are and what their comfortable walking speed is. Then patients will sit on a chair while a camera apparatus takes special pictures of their legs, a procedure lasting up to 2 hours. Patients will be asked to return to learn how to walk with the custom Passive Dynamic Ankle-Foot Orthosis (PD-AFO)-a unique ankle brace designed to improve walking ability by providing natural support to the lower limb. Patients 4 and older who are in good health and able to walk repeatedly a distance of 15 meters (approximately 49 feet) independently and unsupervised may be eligible for this study. With this training, patients may return several times to learn how to walk with the brace, but for their protection, they will not be allowed to take it or use it outside the research team's supervision. The researchers will examine the leg to ensure that the brace fits and will ask questions about it. Each training visit will require up to 1.5 hours. When patients have learned to walk with the brace, they will be asked to visit again and walk while scientific pictures are taken of their legs. During the walking test, patients will wear T-shirts and shorts. Patients' arms and legs will be wrapped with a soft, rubber-like material, to allow small plastic reflective balls to be attached. Firm material known as a shell can be attached to the rubber sleeves, with Velcro or a self-sticking bandage. The small balls may also be attached to the skin, with an adhesive. Also, there may be a test of the muscles, through the use of electromyography, or EMG. The test involves attachment of small metal electrodes to the surface of the skin, again with an adhesive. There should not be discomfort with
