Design, development and biomechanical evaluation of a prefabricated anti pronation foot orthosis
Background Custom made foot orthoses remain the ‘gold standard’ because the orthotic geometry is tailored to each patient’s foot. However, due to their reduced cost, in some contexts there has been an increasing preference for prefabricated orthoses. Research has failed to identify major differences between the two types of orthosis [1-4]. This project aimed to design, develop and evaluate a ne...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of prefabricated antipronation foot orthosis.
Our aim was to develop and evaluate a new antipronation foot orthosis that addressed problems perceived by clinicians and users with existing foot orthoses. Clinicians and users were engaged to develop a user specification for the orthosis, and orthotic geometry and materials were developed using clinical reasoning. The orthotic material properties were tested and the ability of the orthosis to...
متن کاملFoot Pronation and Stress Fractures of the Femur and Tibia: a Prospective Biomechanical Study
The relation between foot pronation and stress fractures has been suggested. However, evidence based literature is lacking and contradictory. The purpose of this study was to examine whether dynamic parameters of foot pronation are related to the development of stress fractures of the femur and tibia. 2 weeks prior to beginning of 14 weeks of basic military training, 473 infantry recruits were ...
متن کاملDesign and functional evaluation of a quasi-passive compliant stance control knee-ankle-foot orthosis.
In this paper, we present the mechanical design, control algorithm, and functional evaluation of a quasi-passive compliant stance control knee-ankle-foot orthosis. The orthosis implements a spring in parallel with the knee joint during the stance phase of the gait and allows free rotation during the swing phase. The design is inspired by the moment-angle analysis of the knee joint revealing tha...
متن کاملDesign enhancement of a solid ankle-foot orthosis: real-time contact pressures evaluation.
The purpose of our study was to evaluate all contact pressures between the molded ankle-foot orthosis (MAFO) and the subject during activities of daily living. The MAFOs studied are used clinically to reduce plantar contact pressures associated with foot ulcers in adult neuropathic diabetic subjects, alleviating abnormal pressures by redistributing them to low-pressure plantar regions. While ef...
