Evaluating effects of a new hip-knee-ankle-foot orthosis on gait parameters in healthy individuals

Hip-knee-ankle-foot orthoses (HKAFOs) are commonly used to assist gait; however, conventional designs are associated with high energy expenditure and poor mediolateral balance. This pilot study examined whether permitting additional motion in selected hip and ankle planes altered joint kinematics and dynamic...
