An articulated ankle–foot orthosis with adjustable plantarflexion resistance, dorsiflexion resistance and alignment: A pilot study on mechanical properties and effects on stroke hemiparetic gait

Highlights • An articulated ankle–foot orthosis (AFO) with adjustable mechanical properties was presented. • The AFO was tested in an individual post-stroke during gait. • Change of the properties affected kinematics and kinetics of ankle and knee joints. • Importance of measuring kinematics and kin...
