| Details | In the research project, two experiments were conducted. Firstly, we analyzed the kinetic data during gait in patients with hemiparesis to develop the orthosis. Secondly, the ankle orthosis that can control joint stiffness was developed. Then, we examined the effect of the ankle orthosis and hip orthosis on gait in patients with hemiparesis. In the results, the characteristics of ankle and hip stiffness and kinetic coordination in lower limb during gait and the effect of the ankle and hip orthosis on gait in patient with hemiparesis were clarified.The findings may contribute to the evidence-based and more effective orthotic treatment. |
