Descripción

Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are orthotics used as an aid for ambulation for patients who have a pathological gait, providing both support and assistance and allowing the patient to move through the various stages of gait. The design process depends on the pathological condition of the patient. Taking into consideration the supporting forces that are necessary to correct the deformation, requires knowledge of all acting forces during the gait cycle. Thus, the highest therapeutic efficiency can be achieved by reaching the optimal design. In this book, background on ankle and foot biomechanics and gait motion analysis, and design considerations for ankle orthosis will be addressed. A literature review will be presented on the commonly used types of ankle orthosis, and the applications of the mathematical methods in the biomechanics of the foot and ankle-foot orthosis models. In addition, the three-dimensional modeling methods of the human foot will be reported along with the three-dimensional modeling of the ankle-foot orthosis and its design method.
