  • Ankle Foot Orthosis Using Shape Memory Alloys for Addressing Drop Foot
    Publication number: 20150290015
    Abstract: An ankle foot orthosis (AFO) is provided to address the drop foot irregularity. In two introduced embodiments of the device, a shape memory alloy (SMA) component is loaded during powered plantarflexion. The SMA would then enable the AFO to lift the foot during the dorsiflexion, when the foot drops. The AFO offers a compact and lightweight structure, however, while still providing the patient the desired lift in during dorsiflexion.
