Abstract
Equinovarus foot deformity (EVFD) is the most common lower limb deformity in stroke patients. Immobilization following EVFD surgical correction is known to have a negative impact on muscle rearrangement with possible loss of walking ability in stroke patients. In a previous study, safe and positive effects at one-month follow up after surgery were obtained with an early rehabilitation treatment (ERT) characterized by immediate walking and training.File in questo prodotto:
