Effect Of Wearable Tubing Assistive Walking Device on Anterior Tibial Muscle Activity at Swing Phase in Post-Stroke Patients

Background: One-third of post-stroke patients experience gait disturbance which is commonly associated with drop foot at three months after acute stroke. One the orthoses that are proposed to improve in stroke patient Wearable Tubing Assistive Walking Devices (WTAWD). It hypothesized WTAWD reduce anterior tibial muscle activity may become hyperactive during swing phase as an attempt perform clearance. Aim: This study aims investigate effect on patients. Material and Methods: Eleven patients, aged 30-60 years, hemiparesis subacute chronic who fulfill inclusion criteria chosen research subjects. The subjects were asked wear leg weakness. Surface Electromyography (sEMG) examination was performed when walked without wearing WTAWD. Results: All 11 completed sessions protocol, no losses throughout study. None reported any adverse effects or intervention. A significant reduction sEMG value found wore (p=0.001). Conclusion: There decreasing Further needed measure kinematic temporospatial values increase knowledge about additional
