An Orthotic Joint Design for Enhancing Ankle Mobility With Ankle Foot Orthoses Use

Abstract: Articulated ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are prescribed to treat drop-foot, a common neuromuscular weakness observed after a stroke. These assistive devices prevent the toe from dragging during swing (drop-foot) by providing a resistive moment at the ankle. However, existing ankle joint designs for articulated AFOs introduce additional gait pathologies as they also constrain ankle mobility during stance. A novel ankle joint for AFOs to prevent drop-foot during swing and improve ankle mobility during stance was d… Show more
