State of the Art Review of Active and Passive Knee Orthoses

Abstract: The use of specialized devices, such as orthopedic devices, has become indispensable in the lives of people with disabilities since ancient times. The primary purpose of such devices is to perform activities and solve problems that afflict their bearers in any extremity of their body. One of the most recurrent problems occurs in the lower extremities regarding mobility and autonomy. In addition, the use of orthopedic devices is considered a tool to lighten the repetitive and heavy rehabilitation work of physio… Show more

“…Current research addresses the need for more energy during push-offs to propel the body forward and is directed toward ankle prostheses, in which active components achieve this [10][11][12]. However, the downside to these models is the degree of increase in ankle size and weight is generally determined by the amount of power the actuator provides to propel the body forward.…”

“…A wide range of materials is nowadays available on the market, each offering particular advantages and disadvantages in the realization of biomechatronic devices (Segil, 2018;Barrera et al, 2022). High-performance FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) materials, including but not limited to PEKK, has garnered significant attention for their outstanding mechanical properties (Wasti and Adhikari, 2020;Luo et al, 2023;Nguyen et al, 2023).…”

“…Moreover, the significant benefits of the manual therapy are lost if ever the process is withdrawn for even a short period [3]. Therefore, to address the limitations of conventional methods, the proliferation of exoskeleton technology has been observed for lower-limb rehabilitation [4][5][6][7][8].…”
