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.

Abstract: Introduction Individuals with delayed below-knee amputation have previously reported superior clinical outcomes compared with lower limb reconstruction. The UK military have since introduced a passive-dynamic ankle-foot orthosis (PDAFO) into its rehabilitation care pathway to improve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/8810482
Abstract: A unified design model is proposed for various kinds of passive dynamic absorbers (PDAs) attached to buildings with different lateral resisting systems. A total of five different PDAs are considered in this study: (1) tuned… read more here.
