Our objective was to evaluate a new orthosis which permits use of paralyzed limbs for standing and ambulation in patients with spinal cord injury. The Vannini-Rizzoli stabilizing boot immobilizes the leg, ankle, and foot in plantar flexion (15 degrees) while stabilizing the knee in the upright position. With the boot, balance and ambulation are achieved by learning to shift the center of gravity of the trunk and hips. Mobility is enhanced by using parallel bars, crutches, or a walker. Twenty-nine patients, aged 22 to 71 years, were in this study. Spinal cord levels of injury varied from C5 to L1. Patient selection and other pertinent data are given. The results indicate that more than 90% of the subjects were able to use the orthoses successfully to walk.
我们的目标是评估一种新型矫形器，该矫形器可使脊髓损伤患者利用瘫痪肢体进行站立和行走。万尼尼 - 里佐利稳定靴将小腿、脚踝和足部固定于跖屈位（15度），同时将膝关节稳定于直立位。借助该靴子，通过学习转移躯干和臀部的重心来实现平衡和行走。使用双杠、拐杖或助行器可增强活动能力。本研究纳入了29名年龄在22至71岁之间的患者。脊髓损伤平面从C5至L1不等。给出了患者选择及其他相关数据。结果表明，超过90%的受试者能够成功使用矫形器行走。
