Design and Validation of a Partial-Assist Knee Orthosis with Compact, Backdrivable Actuation

International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, 2019
This paper presents the mechatronic design and initial validation of a partial-assist knee orthosis for individuals with musculoskeletal disorders, e.g., knee osteoarthritis and lower back pain. This orthosis utilizes a quasi-direct drive actuator with a

Locomotor adaptation to a powered ankle-foot orthosis depends on control method

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2007
Background We studied human locomotor adaptation to powered ankle-foot orthoses with the intent of identifying differences between two different orthosis control methods. The first orthosis control method used a footswitch to provide bang-bang control (a

Advancing Conservative Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis: 3D‐Printed Shoe Soles for Passive Toe‐Out Gait Modification

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction To evaluate whether a 3D‐printed shoe sole can passively replicate toe‐out gait biomechanics and reduce the knee adduction moment (KAM) and knee adduction angular impulse (KAAI), addressing limitations of traditional gait retraining.

Impairment in quality of life with different sport orthopaedic musculoskeletal injuries—A comprehensive analysis of the German arthroscopy register

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 2067-2077, June 2026.
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to identify the impairment of quality of life (QoL) for different sport orthopaedic injuries prior to surgery in Germany and build a baseline dataset for these injuries. Methods Data from the German arthroscopy registry (DART) between November 2017 and January 2025 were used.

Improving independence in the community for stroke survivors : the role of biomechanics visualisation in ankle-foot orthosis tuning

, 2011
One of the key priorities for stroke survivors in their rehabilitation process is regaining their ability to walk. Evidence has shown that provision of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) can have a positive impact on walking.
