Ankle dorsiflexion assistance of patients with foot drop using a powered ankle-foot orthosis to improve the gait asymmetry

BACKGROUND: Foot drop is a neuromuscular disorder that causes abnormal gait patterns. This study developed a pneumatically powered ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to improve the gait patterns of patients with foot drop. We hypothesized that providing unilateral ankle dorsiflexion assistance during the swi...
