An SMA Passive Ankle Foot Orthosis: Design, Modeling, and Experimental Evaluation

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) provide compact and effective actuation for a variety of mechanical systems. In this work, the distinguished superelastic behavior of these materials is utilized to develop a passive ankle foot orthosis to address the drop foot disability. Design, modeling, and experimenta...
