Newly designed computer controlled knee-ankle-foot orthosis (Intelligent Orthosis).

The authors have developed a knee-ankle-foot orthosis with a joint unit that controls knee movements using a microcomputer (Intelligent Orthosis). The Intelligent Orthosis was applied to normal subjects and patients, and gait analysis was performed. In the gait cycle, the ratio of the stance phase to the swing phase was less in gait with the knee locked using a knee-ankle-foot orthosis than in ...

One of the plltative open reading frames showed homology with replication proteins of other plasmids. A shuttle vector of Escherichia coti and this strain was constructed by connecting pAH4 to pUCI8. Electroporation of the shllttle vector into the strain yielded 1 .7 x 1...

Orthosis for barefoot walking.

Introduction Most lower limb orthoses cannot be used without footwear. Occasionally, barefoot walking by patients fitted with orthoses may be necessary due to economic circumstances, to satisfy the dictates of religion, or for other reasons, such as the discomfort of conventional footwear in hot and humid climates. Invariably a boot or shoe is the foundation for an orthosis, with a stirrup rive...
