Text: AFO significantly improved weight-bearing on the affected leg (affected / unaffected side symmetry : 2. 25 + / - 1. 5 with AFO versus 3. 4 + / - 2. 5 without AFO, P < 0. 05) and postural sway in stance (12. 5 mm + / - 5. 2 with AFO versus 15. 7 mm + / - 6. 7 without AFO, P < 0. 05), double stance duration (21. 1 + / -14. 4 % of gait cycle with AFO versus 25. 9 + / - 21. 6 % of gait cycle without AFO, P < 0. 05), and symmetry ratios of gait parameters such as stance duration (2. 0 + / - 1. 5 s with AFO versus 3. 3 + / - 3. 6 s without AFO, P < 0. 05) and deceleration forces (1. 6 + / - 0. 5 with AFO versus 1. 9 + / - 0. 6 without AFO, P < 0. 05) during gait.
