Development and Preliminary Evaluation of a Lower Body Exosuit to Support Ankle Dorsiflexion
For patients suffering from drop foot due to weakness of ankle dorsiflexion muscles, an ankle foot orthosis provides increased foot clearance during the swing phase of gait, but often restricts other gait functions, such as plantarflexion. Due to steady progress in the development of lighter and sma...
