Effect of Ankle-Foot Orthosis Stiffness on Muscle Force During Gait Through Mechanical Testing and Gait Simulation

Mechanical testing and gait measurement for ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) are crucial for determining the AFO stiffness magnitude in an individual. However, information on the effect of the stiffness magnitude on the muscle force during gait is limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship b...
