The modern ankle-foot orthoses (AFO's).
There is a strong trend away from the use of metal in the fabrication of orthoses. Advanced concepts and the availability of plastics have frequently resulted in wholly new designs of lower-limb orthoses rather than part-for-part substitution of plastic components for metal components. Many centers, including our own Veterans Administration Prosthetics Center (VAPC), are replacing the ugly, noi...
متن کاملDesign and Additive Fabrication of Foot and Ankle-foot Orthoses
Foot and ankle-foot orthoses are prescribed in order to promote mobility through supporting and/or realigning the lower leg and alleviating pain in the foot in different parts of the gait cycle. This paper will outline new approaches to the design and manufacture of personalised foot and ankle-foot orthoses (FO and AFO) using additive fabrication technology. The research is addressing the need ...
متن کاملSome Biomechanical Considerations in the Design of Ankle-foot Orthoses
The proliferation of new designs for anklefoot orthoses fabricated with thermoplastic materials presents a bewildering picture for the clinician faced with the prescribing of a particular device for an individual patient. Indeed, the orthotics specialist with his spe cial knowledge may require to adopt a trial and error policy extending over a consider able number of patients before the advan...
متن کاملFunctional electrical stimulation versus ankle foot orthoses for foot-drop: A meta-analysis of orthotic effects.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects on walking of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and ankle foot orthoses for foot-drop of central neurological origin, assessed in terms of unassisted walking behaviours compared with assisted walking following a period of use (combined-orthotic effects). DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, AMED, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, REHABDATA...
