Oxygen consumption, oxygen cost and physiological cost index in polio survivors: A comparison of walking without orthosis, with an ordinary or a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic knee-ankle-foot orthosis

Abstract: The gait efficiency of polio survivors with a carbon KAFO was objectively better than those without an orthosis or with an ordinary KAFO.

“…For example, energy consumption may be high when walking with a standard KAFO (Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis), while use of a lightweight KAFO may decrease oxygen consumption during walking and save energy. 32,33 Individuals with LSP, especially those with PPS, should be supplied with appropriate orthoses on the basis of individual needs. 34,35 To further improve energy efficiency, carbon-composite material is often preferred.…”

“…29,30,36 Previous studies have indicated that walking with a carbon KAFO, does reduce the oxygen consumption; oxygen cost and physiological cost index, when compared with an ordinary KAFO in patients with PPS. 33 Crutches, manual and electrical wheelchairs, and scooters have the potential to further increase functional activity when meaningfully used. 32 Interestingly, the use of a wheelchair in our study was not a significant factor in employment.…”

“…Les objectifs que se fixe l'appareillage sont : de compenser les déficiences orthopédiques ou musculaires ; de contrôler les déformations et leur retentissement articulaire ; d'améliorer les capacités de marche en cherchant à la rendre la plus près possible de la marche « physiologique » ; de diminuer les risques de chutes et de fractures ; de remplacer ou faire évoluer un ancien appareillage qui n'est plus adapté ; de faire accepter au patient le recours à une orthèse en l'informant des avantages attendus : restauration des capacités fonctionnelles, augmentation de l'endurance à la marche par diminution de la consommation d'oxygène et des dépenses énergétiques, diminution des contraintes physiques sur le membre inférieur déficitaire, controlatéral et sur le rachis [7][8][9].…”

“…Le point le plus critique concerne le contrôle du genou qui doit être stable pour permettre une marche sécurisée mais aussi « libre » pour mieux respecter la marche physiologique par la flexion qu'il autorise en diminuant son coût énergétique [8,9,11,12,14]. Le principe de base est d'éviter autant que possible que l'articulation du genou soit verrouillée.…”
