Abstract: (text automatically translated from Italian) Scope of this thesis is that one to currently on sale bring back the state of the art with regard to the ortheses for the ankle, the criteria to hold present for the prescription, the legal norm that the rule. Moreover they come brought back the data of one preliminary study inside lead of the Department of ***Geriatria INRCA “the ***Fraticini” that currency the percentage of prescription of ***AFO (***Ankle-Foot-Orthosis) in hemoplegic patients, stabilized, discharged ***dal the Day hospital in the 2001-July year the 2002 and percentage of abandonment of these ortheses. Of the 25 patients (selected from a champion of 207 subjects discharged in that period) to which it had been prescribed the ortheses for the ankle (equal to 11% of the population), very 21 to the telephone talk have reported to wear it (still equal to 84% of the studied population). Our data are discordant respect to other studies on the argument. In particular the percentage of prescription, in these studies, was gone around around to 20-25%; the percentage of abandonment of the ortheses around to 30-40%. That could make to think that the percentage of prescription in less in our study regarding the others, is those that later on would have lead to a abandonment of the ortheses.
