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.
