Introduction: One of the main causes of impaired gait by neurological compromise is cerebrovascular disease in its different modes of presentation; this alteration deteriorates the functional performance and therefore the quality of life. Prescription of ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is common to compensate for gait disturbances, so that in the functional rehabilitation of these patients gait analysis is of paramount importance.
Objetivo: Of this study was to evaluate changes in gait with and without AFO in patients with impaired gait of neurological origin.
Methodology: Was a cross-sectional pilot study in population with impaired gait of neurological origin, attended in outpatient services.
Results: Of the analysis of the kinematic variables in three planes of 13 patients did not showstatistically significant differences between gait with and without AFO.
