This Ankle Foot Orthosis was designed to replace the function of the calf muscles. There are numerous pathologies and traumatic incidents that impair or complicate the normal calf muscle function. The posterior calf muscles provided normal knee stability in stance, standing balance. It also provides propulsion in late stance phase of gait, for the transfer of weight to the other extremity.
This Ankle Foot Orthosis was designed to Que the function of the calf muscles in late stance. The posterior calf muscles provided normal knee stability in stance, standing balance. It also provides propulsion in late stance phase of gait, for the transfer of weight to the other extremity. Conventional orthoses designs limit the motion of the foot to Swing phase to clear the toe. Unfortunately this also limits motion during Stance phase witch reduces the patients ability to push off and initiate early Swing phase.
