OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of surgical correction of pes equinovarus on personalized goal attainment and balance and gait capacity.
DESIGN: In this prospective observational cohort study, outcome measures were assessed before and 12 months after surgery. For a subgroup of participants, a 4-month baseline period with repeated assessments was used.
SETTING: Participants were recruited between 2019 and 2023 at a tertiary referral center.
PARTICIPANTS: Adults with pes equinovarus deformity following chronic stroke.
INTERVENTIONS: All participants underwent reconstructive surgery for pes equinovarus, with tarsal arthrodesis as the primary procedure, often combined with Achilles' tendon lengthening.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Personalized goal attainment, balance capacity, and gait capacity were assessed with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest), and barefoot 3-dimensional instrumented gait analysis, respectively.
RESULTS: Forty-six participants were included. No changes in COPM, Mini-BESTest, and gait speed were observed during the 4-month baseline period. After surgery, significant improvements were found in personalized goal attainment, with COPM-performance increasing by 3.5±1.7 points (P<.001) and COPM-satisfaction increasing by 3.9±1.8 points (P<.001). Balance capacity also showed significant improvement after surgery (Mini-BESTest: +5.1±5.4; P<.001). The vast majority of participants who were unable to walk barefoot before surgery were able to do so postsurgery (19/24 participants). Furthermore, improvements in barefoot gait speed after surgery were found in participants with low presurgical gait speeds.
CONCLUSIONS: Improvements in personalized goal attainment and balance and gait capacity after reconstructive surgery for pes equinovarus were clinically relevant. Therefore, reconstructive surgery for pes equinovarus, with tarsal arthrodesis as the principal procedure, can be considered as a valuable treatment in people with chronic stroke. Our findings provide guidance for optimal preoperative counseling.
