A pneumatically powered knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) with myoelectric activation and inhibition

BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to test the mechanical performance of a prototype knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) powered by artificial pneumatic muscles during human walking. We had previously built a powered ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and used it effectively in studies on human motor adaptat...
