Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of the hinged ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) on sit-to-stand (STS) transfers in children with spastic cerebral palsy.Design: Before-after trial.Setting: University-affiliated hospital.Participants: Nineteen spastic diplegic children (age range, 2-6y).Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: The transitional movement of STS was tested in random order with children while wearing the barefoot and hinged AFOs. The temporal, kinematic, and kinetic data during the task were collected by using a motion analyzer (with 6 infrared cameras). Statistical comparison between barefoot and hinged AFO was done with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: Total duration of STS transfer was significantly shortened with the hinged AFO (P
