DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04083-9
Abstract: High-energy lower extremity trauma (HELET) may cause severe damage within the foot–ankle complex. Occasionally, arthrodesis or amputation are the only remaining options to increase activity levels. The modified passive dynamic ankle–foot orthosis (PDAFO) may prove… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.conengprac.2018.08.008
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, the problem of trajectory tracking, for an Actuated-Ankle–Foot-Orthosis(AAFO) to assist the gait of paretic patients, is addressed. The control strategy is based on the system’s flatness property, which allows the development… read more here.
