[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early effects of a knee-ankle-foot orthosis on static standing balance in people with subacute stroke. [Participants and Methods] Timed static standing balance in four standing conditions (feet apart with eyes open, feet apart with eyes closed, feet together with eyes open, and tandem stance with eyes open) was assessed in 29 inpatients (mean age: 67.3 ± 13.3 years) with subacute stroke with and without a knee-ankle-foot orthosis on the paretic lower limb. [Results] In the group of participants who were unable to stand without a knee-ankle-foot orthosis, the proportion of participants who were able to stand with a knee-ankle-foot orthosis was significantly increased in the following conditions: feet apart with eyes open and feet apart with eyes closed. In the group of participants who were able to stand without a knee-ankle-foot orthosis, the mean duration of time for which the participants with a knee-ankle-foot orthosis were able to stand was significantly longer than that for those without a knee-ankle-foot orthosis for all standing conditions. [Conclusion] A knee-ankle-foot orthosis may be a useful assistive device to support static standing balance for people with subacute stroke.
