Optimizing 3D printed ankle-foot orthoses for patients with stroke: Importance of effective elastic modulus and finite element simulation
Patients with stroke often use ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) for gait improvement. 3D printing technology has become a popular tool in recent years for the production of AFOs due to its strengths on customization and rapid manufacturing. However, the porosity of the 3D printed materials affects the kin...
