Joseph M. Mansour, PhD
|
| |
The authors attempt to determine whether kinematics of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) are dependent on design changes made to alter stiffness.

|
| |
A patient with an L-5 level myelomeningocele underwent gait analysis testing while barefoot and while wearing floor-reaction ankle-foot orthoses (FRAFOs) set in 10° dorsiflexion to demonstrate how FRAFOs can provide a significant increase in knee ext...

|
| |
Children were monitored at three different stages to determine if gait deviations resulting from the lack of knee flexion in solid knee prostheses are reduced when a young amputee is fit with an articulating prosthesis at an earlier age than the prev...
