Background Musculoskeletal modelling is a common means by which to non-invasively
analyse movement. Such models have largely been used to observe function in both healthy …

Lower limb exoskeletons serve multiple purposes, like supporting and augmenting
movement. Biomechanical models are practical tools to understand human movement, and …

Growing age and different conditions often require the replacement of orthoses, and FDM-
based 3D printing can produce them quickly with less investment. In today's market for …

Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are designed to improve gait for individuals with neuromuscular
conditions and have also been used to reduce energy costs of walking for unimpaired …

Predicting the movements, ground reaction forces and neuromuscular activity during gait
can be a valuable asset to the clinical rehabilitation community, both to understand …

Background: Many individuals with cerebral palsy wear ankle foot orthoses during daily life.
Orthoses influence joint motion, but how they impact muscle remains unclear. In particular …

In this combined in vivo and computational modeling study, we tested the central hypothesis
that ankle joint rotation and triceps surae muscle loading have independent and …

Ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) can improve gait in stroke patients. Addition of plantar flexion
resistance (PFR) can improve the first foot rocker function. However, the effect of changing …

An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) with a plantarflexion resistance function, improves post-stroke
gait. An AFO with a plantarflexion resistance function not only affects the first rocker function …

Research of post-stroke locomotion via musculoskeletal (MSK) modeling has offered an
unprecedented insight into pathological muscle function and its interplay with skeletal …
