A Study of Design and Implementation Techniques of Active Soft Orthotic Ankle Foot

This paper reports on the mechanical design of an active soft orthotic implementation for AFP, which is powered by the pneumatic artificial muscles. Ankle foot orthosis makes a neuromuscular patient’s having gait pattern more rehabilitate like that of an unaffected person, but the devices can also be associated with compensations of their own. And some patients with a normal gate pattern are not necessary for its functionality. In this paper our study focuses on the rehabilitation performance based on the ankle foot orthotic device.
