The impact of foot orthoses on gait in children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta type I, III and IV – a cross-sectional study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background For children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a rare genetic bone disease, walking can be difficult to carry out due to a combination of bone fragility and deformity, muscle weakness, joint hypermobility, and pain.

Efficacy of arch contouring foot orthoses for midfoot osteoarthritis: Protocol for a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research
Introduction Midfoot osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and disabling condition. Arch contouring foot orthoses have been recommended for midfoot OA, yet there is no high‐quality evidence from randomised controlled trials to support their use. This clinical

Advances on mechanical designs for assistive ankle-foot orthoses [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Assistive ankle-foot orthoses (AAFOs) are powerful solutions to assist or rehabilitate gait on humans. Existing AAFO technologies include passive, quasi-passive, and active principles to provide assistance to the users, and their mechanical configuration

The biomechanical effects of 3D printed and traditionally made foot orthoses in individuals with unilateral plantar fasciopathy and flat feet.

Gait & Posture, 2022
BACKGROUND Foot orthoses (FOs) are used to manage foot pathologies such as plantar fasciopathy. 3D printed custom-made FOs are increasingly being manufactured.

Numerical and Experimental Mechanical Analysis of Additively Manufactured Ankle–Foot Orthoses

Materials, 2022
Growing age and different conditions often require the replacement of orthoses, and FDM-based 3D printing can produce them quickly with less investment. In today’s market for orthotics, these characteristics are highly desired.

A Review of Additive Manufacturing Studies for Producing Customized Ankle-Foot Orthoses

Bioengineering, 2022
Ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) are prescribed to improve the patient’s quality of life. Supporting weak muscles or restraining spastic muscles leads to smoother and more stable locomotion.
