The aim of research work: To assess the effect of orthoses’ for balance and mobility in case of paresis of the lower limbs. Tasks of work: 1. To assess and compare balance of study subjects with and without orthoses. 2. To assess and compare mobility of study subjects with and without orthoses. Materials and methods: study subjects were assessed using Rivermead’s motor scale and Berg’s balance scale without splint, with a knee and foot splint, with a knee splint and with a foot splint. Seven study subjects were assessed additionally applying balance platform (Tekscan-MatsCan system) without splints and with knee splint. Data analysis: the Shapiro–Wilk test was applied to validate normality of data distribution. Student’s criterion was used to compare mean values and Wilcoxon’s criterion was applied to compare data distribution. Data were considered as statistically significant, if p value was < 0.05. Results: Results. The mean value of balance assessment using Berg’s scale with a foot and knee splint was 41.48 points, with a foot splint – 40.52 points, with foot splint – 39.65 points and without splints –38.96 points. For the patients with a knee splint the mean load on paralysis affected leg increased by 1.86 %. Mean value of mobility, assessed applying Rivermead motor assessment scale, was 8.52 points applying foot and knee splint, 8.2 points applying a knee splint, 8.17 points applying a knee splint and 8.09 points without any splint. Statistically significant difference between the results was not reached. Conclusions: 1. Static and dynamic balance was better in the patients with the splints, to compare with those, who did not have splints (p>0.05). The load on paralysis affected leg was higher in patients wearing a knee splint, to compare with those without a splint. 2. Mobility of the patients wearing a splint was better, but the difference was statistically insignificant. The best mobility results were reached applying both knee and foot splints.","abstract_html":"ABSTRACT Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine Department of Rehabilitation, Physical and Sports Medicine Bachelor Degree of Physiotherapy EFFECT OF ORTHOSES ON PATIENTS’ BALANCE AND MOBILITY IN CASE OF LOWER LIMBS’ PARESIS Physiotherapy Bachelor&#x27;s Thesis The Author: Ilja Kazakov , the 4th year student of physiotherapy bachelor of Vilnius University Academic advisor: Dr. Dainė Janonienė, Vilnius University faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation, physical and sports medicine.
