Measuring the functional and clinical effectiveness of a passive dynamic ankle foot orthosis when used to rehabilitate complex limb salvage post lower limb blast trauma
Summary: Studies suggest passive dynamic ankle foot orthoses (PD AFO) are effective at improving gait and patient reported outcomes measures (PROM) in personnel who have undergone limb salvage due to blast trauma. Studies using PD AFOs have included able bodied and personnel with variable clinical …

Understanding the effects of wearing a quantitatively prescribed passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthosis on the mechanical cost-of-transport and gait velocity in individuals post-stroke
Individuals post-stroke are commonly prescribed passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthoses (PD-AFOs) to aid in the control of shank forward rotation during mid-to- terminal stance due to plantar flexor weakness. PD-AFO bending stiffness is a key orthotic characteristic that can assist the plantar flexor …
