Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the results of the EVOLUTIONS-trial, in which effects of providing ankle-foot orthoses on two different points in time in the rehabilitation after stroke were studied. Results showed functional improvements over time, while at the same time no changes in kinematics and muscle activity of the affected lower limb were found over a period of 26 weeks. Based on these results, compensation strategies of the unaffected lower limb are thought to play an important role in the rehabilitation after stroke.
