The differences between the AnkleFree and AnkleRestrict groups in performing the STS seem consistent with the participants functional ambulation: community ambulation in the AnkleFree group, and household and nonfunctional ambulation with less hip muscle strength in the majority of the AnkleRestrict group. No differences in the 5STS CoM trajectories or the kinematics were found with respect to the AFO and KAFO-Fs groups. Because orthoses are constructed to enable walking, the environment needs to be adjusted for activities in daily living such as the STS movement.
