Summary:Objective : The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of different knee joints in knee ankle foot orthosis on the availability of cut-down.Methods : Subjects were first-episode stroke hemiplegics admitted to a rehabilitation ward between April 2015 and April 2021. 44 patients who were prescribed knee ankle foot orthosis were divided into two groups according to whether or not a cut-down was possible, and compared. A logistic regression analysis was conducted using the items that showed significant differences as independent variables and the availability of cut-down as the dependent variable.Results : The logistic regression analysis for the possibility of cut-down revealed that the type of knee joint and cognitive FIM at admission were independent determinants of cut-down.Conclusion : The results suggest that different types of knee joints and cognitive FIM at admission may influence whether cut-down is possible or not in hemiplegic patients with first stroke.
