Aims: To investigate the effects of anterior ankle-foot orthosis (A-AFO) on static standing postural control in patients with chronic stroke wearing the A-AFO for a long time. Methods: We recruited patients with chronic stroke wearing an A-AFO for at least 5 months. Static standing balance control was evaluated using the Tetrax Balance System in eight positions: (1) eyes open on a solid surface [NO];(2) eyes closed on a solid surface [NC];(3) eyes open on a foam surface [PO];(4) eyes closed on a foam surface [PC];and head turned at 30° to (5) right [HR], (6) left [HL], (7) up [HB], and …
