Orthotic devices and gait in polio patients

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2010
Polio survivors are aging and facing multiple pathologies. With age, walking becomes more difficult, partly due to locomotor deficits but also as a result of weight gain, osteoarticular degeneration, pain, cardiorespiratory problems or even post polio syndrome (PPS). These additional complications increase the risk of falls in this population where the

A radiographic and anthropometric study of the effect of a contoured sandal and foot orthosis on supporting the medial longitudinal arch

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2014
Background In‐shoe foot orthoses improve conditions such as plantar heel pain (fasciitis), probably due to their ability to raise the medial longitudinal arch of the foot and lower the stress on the plantar tissues.

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Cooptimized Sensing and Sole Mechanics Enable Embodied‐Intelligence Design of User‐Specific Smart Footwear

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An embodied codesign framework for smart footwear is presented, jointly tuning lattice mechanics and sensing for personalized plantar pressure monitoring. By integrating pneumatic sensing within 3D‐printed lattice soles, the system achieves accurate real‐time centre‐of‐pressure tracking with reduced sensor count and energy demand, demonstrating how ...
