A 4-week accommodation period was allotted for each of the three devices: a standard hinged AFO, an AFO with tone- reducing features, and a supramalleolar orthotic with tone reducing features. Most significant differences were at the ankle, between free-ankle and plantar flexion- limiting conditions. No significant functional changes in gait were evident with the addition of tone-reducing properties to a standard articulating AFO.
