Impact of adjustable dorsiflexion range and stiffness in articulated ankle–foot orthosis on center of pressure progression in post-stroke gait
Key Points
Adjustable dorsiflexion range and stiffness significantly influence center of pressure progression during gait.
The study observed 30 post-stroke individuals with variable responses to orthotic adjustments.
Assessment of ankle-foot orthosis design features revealed critical relationships with gait mechanics.
Findings highlight the potential for tailored ankle-foot orthoses to enhance post-stroke mobility.
