Effect of types of ankle-foot orthoses on energy expenditure metrics during walking in individuals with stroke: a systematic review.
Conclusions: An AFO can immediately improve energy expenditure metrics of walking in stroke survivors. There is a need for further well-designed randomized trials to evaluate long-term effect of gait training using AFOs and comparison among the different types of orthoses.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAn AFO can immediately improve the energy expenditure metrics during walking after stroke.Measurement of energetic parameters of walking wearing a orthotic device such as an AFO can evaluate gait economy in stroke populations.

Health system challenges affecting rehabilitation services in South Africa.
This article presents challenges and solutions to ensure that South Africa can meet WHO 2030 Rehabilitation Goals for equitable provision of effective public rehabilitation services using the WHO's health system building block framework. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION To meet the challenge of providing rehabilitation for those in need requires country-specific, strategic, evidence-informed, and planned decisions in terms of best investment for highest return. Whilst there is sound international evidence for best-practice rehabilitation care, country-specific strategies are required to identify and address local barriers t...
