The effects of an articulated ankle-foot orthosis with resistance-adjustable joints on lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics during gait in individuals post-stroke

This study demonstrated that the adjustments of resistance in the ankle-foot orthosis with the Triple Action joints influenced ankle and knee kinematics in individuals post-stroke. Further work is necessary to investigate the long-term effects of the articulated ankle-foot orthoses on their gait.
