@entity1 @entity73 @entity64 @entity385
Background and Purpose. Equinovarus foot is a common sign after @entity64 . The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of task specific exercises, gait training, and visual biofeedback on correcting equinovarus gait among individuals with @entity64 . Subjects and Methods. Sixteen subjects with @entity385 were randomly assigned to two equal groups (G1 and G2). All the @entity1 were at stage 4 of motor recovery of foot according to @entity64 without any @entity73 . E-med pedography was used to measure contact time, as well as force underneath hind and forefoot during walking. Outcome measures were collected before randomization, one week after the last session, and four weeks later. @entity1 in G1 received task specific exercises, gait training, and visual biofeedback and a traditional physical therapy program was applied for @entity1 in G2 for 8 weeks. Results. Significant improvement was observed among G1 @entity1 (P  <= 0.05) which lasts one month after therapy termination. On the other hand, there were no significant differences between measurements of the @entity1 in G2. Between groups comparison also revealed a significant improvement in G1 with long lasting effect. Conclusion. The results of this study showed a positive long lasting effect of the task specific exercises, gait training, and visual biofeedback on equinovarus gait pattern among individuals with @entity64 .
