A novel experimental setup for evaluating the stiffness of ankle foot orthoses

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was the construction of a new semi-automated experimental setup for the evaluation of the stiffness of ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) around an axis aligned to the anatomical ankle joint during the second rocker of the gait. The setup, developed in close coll...
