Summary

This study tested a brace called CALIGALOC designed to correct foot drop (ankle varus) in people with hemiparesis after a stroke or other brain injury. The goal was to see if wearing the brace for 15 days improved walking speed and balance. Only 5 people took part, and the study was stopped early, so the results are very limited.
