A pilot study to determine the efficiency of lightweight carbon fibre orthoses in the management of patients suffering from post-poliomyelitis syndrome.
Clinical Rehabilitation 1997 November
OBJECTIVES: To assess the usage of carbon fibre orthoses in assisting post-polio syndrome patients who reported advancing weakness and difficulty in maintaining their independent ambulatory status.
DESIGN AND INTERVENTIONS: Carbon fibre orthoses that are 30% lighter than metal braces were constructed.
SUBJECTS: Thirty patients who complained of difficulty in maintaining their ambulation using long-leg braces were provided with lightweight orthoses.
RESULTS: Seventy per cent of the patients reported satisfaction with their braces. There were, however, problems in construction and use.
CONCLUSIONS: Ambulation can be preserved in some patients who report advancing weakness because of post-polio syndrome.
