Orthotic Ankle Constraint Changes Muscle Activation During Walking
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04-19)
Ankle foot orthoses combined with footwear (AFO-FC) are commonly prescribed as a treatment to control ankle motion during walking. Despite their widespread use in rehabilitation, the influence of AFO-FC on the neuromuscular ...
The Effect of Dorsiflexion Resistance on Ankle and Knee Joint Kinematics Quantified with an Instrumented Ankle-Foot Orthosis During Treadmill Walking
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04-19)
Orthotic management of foot drop is commonly treated with an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that incorporates a dorsiflexion assist motion control feature. Since most AFO's are passive devices, the orthotic dorsiflexion assist ...
Electromyographic response to perturbation by a powered ankle foot orthosis during treadmill walking in healthy subjects
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-04-22)
Short term adaptation to error and the display of short-lasting aftereffects is thought to be the basis for neuromuscular learning and has been demonstrated in upper and lower limb rehabilitation research. The objective ...
Optimal dorsal strap placement and angulation to prevent pistoning in an ankle foot orthoses.
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-04-22)
In ankle-foot orthoses, straps over the dorsum of the foot are often used to prevent the rise and fall of the heel within the device. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal location and angle of this strap which ...
