Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are categorized four ways with respect to their shape: posterior spring, anterior spring, side-stay and spiral. In this article the flexibility of these types of AFOs fitted to the limb is measured using a muscle training machine. A comparison of the flexibility of different types of AFOs is made.

Development of a New Ankle-foot Orthosis with Dorsiflexion Assist, Part 1: Desirable Characteristics of Ankle-foot Orthoses for Hemiplegic Patients

Sumiko Yamamoto; Masahiko Ebina; Shinji Miyazaki; Hideo Kawai; Toshio Kubota

ABSTRACTThe mechanical characteristics of ankle-foot orthoses that are important for hemiplegic gait are the magnitude of the assist moment and the initial ankle angle. An experimental ankle-foot orthosis that allows for easy adjustment of the magnitude of the assist moments and the initial ankle an
