This implies the prevention of foot drop during the swing phase and contributes to the natural transition from the swing to the stance phase. After reaching the maximum dorsiflexion position, the ankle plantarflexion located the ankle position below 0° for natural gait. However, the restrained ...
Foot drop, sometimes called "drop foot," is the inability to lift the front part of the foot. This causes the toes to drag along the ground while walking. To avoid dragging the toes, people with foot drop may lift theirkneehigher than normal. Or they may swing their leg in a wide ar...
These results indicate that the developed AAFO may have more clinical benefits to treat foot drop and toe drag, compared with conventional AFOs, and also could be useful in polio patients or patients with other orthotic devices. 展开 关键词: bio-optics gait analysis orthotics 3D gait analyses ...
Ankle-foot orthoses can also be prescribed for prevention or correction of deformities of the foot and ankle and reduction of weight-bearing forces. In addition to having mechanical effects on the ankle, the AFOs may affect the stability of the knee by varying the degree of plantar or ...
These applications include pain relief due to excessive pressure, increased heel cushion to diminish impact forces during landing, increased foot stability by increasing arch stiffness, and prevention of skin breakdowns, such as ulcerations (Dombroski et al., 2014). All these applications have ...
