Clinical outcome measures to evaluate the effects of orthotic management post-stroke: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that outcome measures related to mobility (ICF chapter d4) are most often applied to evaluate orthotic management post-stroke. Effect sizes appear to be greatest in outcome measures related to velocity, balance, and energy expenditure. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION The 10-meter Walk Test appears to have the greatest effect size when evaluating orthotic management post-stroke. While outcome measures related to mobility are commonly applied when evaluating orthotic management post-stroke, rehabilitation professionals should consider complementing these with measures representing the participation domain of the ICF.
