Abstract
Background. The main aims of clinical gait analysis are to measure and to assess the parameters which characterize the patient’s locomotion in order to identify the primary pathologies and compensatory mechanisms. The aim of this paper is to present 6 patients with CP, in whose case the gait analysis was used to assess the influence of the AFOs on the gait. Material and methods. Six children with cerebral palsy, aged 6 to 14 years old, were recruited into the study. They all were treated in the Dept. Paediatric Rehabilitation CMHI. They underwent the objective gait analysis (using movement analysis system VICON 460) two times: barefoot, and in shoes with AFOs. Results. In four cases AFOs considerably improved the gait pattern, in two patients caused the gait deterioration. Conclusions. The aim of the AFOs is to improve gait (through improved ankle joint stability, and assistance to the weak calf muscles) and to correct pathological deviations, such as knee hyperextension. The improper choice of the AFO type, or bad fitting could result in no improvement, but in more severe cases even in gait deterioration. The results of this paper indicate that the quantitative gait analysis proved to be the efficient tool in assessing the selection quality of AFOs.

Abstract
Rheumatic diseases are not fatal, but they result in shorter life expectancy of the patients suffering from them. This applies to all inflammatory rheumatic diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rheumatic diseases, in which most of all the joint inflammatory process develops with progressive joint damage, are the cause of patients’ disability, prevent patients from working and everyday functioning, also at home, and affect all aspects of social life. The objective of rehabilitation in RA is to relieve pain, reduce or inhibit inflammation, and maintain the proper functioning of the locomotor system while slowing down or ceasing structural lesions in the joints.
