Biomechanical analysis of an unpowered hip flexion orthosis on individuals with and without multiple sclerosis

Biomechanical analysis of an unpowered hip flexion orthosis on individuals with and without multiple sclerosis

Abstract Background Gait impairment is a common complication of multiple sclerosis (MS). Gait limitations such as limited hip flexion, foot drop, and knee hyperextension often require external devices like crutches, canes, and orthoses. The effects of mobility-assistive technologies (MATs) prescribe...
