Comparison of Gait Ability of a Child with Cerebral Palsy According to the Difference of Dorsiflexion Angle of Hinged Ankle-Foot Orthosis: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare gait abilities in a child with spastic diplegia according to different dorsiflexion angles on hinged ankle-foot orthosis (hinged AFO). CASE REPORT This study is a case report of a child who was diagnosed with spastic diplegia and ambulated independently with the use of a hinged AFO. For gait analysis, the GAITRite® was used under 3 different conditions including barefoot, wearing regular of hinged AFO, and wearing a dorsiflexion 10° hinged AFO. The gait velocity and cadence were collected as temporal parameters, while step length, stride length, and single and double leg support time were collected as temporal spatial parameters. As a result, when a regular hinged AFO was worn on the barefoot, the gait velocity and cadence per minute were increased, whereas the step length and stride length, the single and double leg support time decreased. The gait velocity, cadence, step length, and stride length were significantly increased when dorsiflexion 10° hinged AFO was applied compared to barefoot. The gait velocity, cadence, step length, and stride length increased with dorsiflexion 10° hinged AFO compared to regular hinged AFO. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study demonstrated that wearing a dorsiflexion 10° hinged AFO would have a positive effect on improving gait ability of a child with cerebral palsy rather than wearing a bare foot and a general hinged AFO.
