Objective: To systematically review the evidence on the effects of an ankle-foot orthosis on
gait biomechanics after stroke Data sources: The following databases were searched; …

Abstract Background Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are used to improve the gait of patients with
stroke. Research question The current review aimed at evaluating the efficacy of different …

This paper proposes a novel gait intention estimator for an exoskeleton-wearer who needs
gait support owing to walking impairment. The gait intention estimator not only detects the …

Background In persons post-stroke, diminished ankle joint function can contribute to
inadequate gait propulsion. To target paretic ankle impairments, we developed a …

Background Soft robotic exosuits can provide partial dorsiflexor and plantarflexor support in
parallel with paretic muscles to improve poststroke walking capacity. Previous results …

Background: Level of ambulation following stroke is a long-term predictor of participation
and disability. Decreased lower extremity motor control can impact ambulation and overall …

Background The adjustment of plantarflexion resistive moment of an articulated ankle–foot
orthosis is considered important in patients post stroke, but the evidence is still limited …

Mechanical properties of an articulated ankle–foot orthosis (AFO) are closely related to gait
performance in individuals post-stroke. This paper presents a pilot study on the mechanical …

Background Center of pressure measured during gait can provide information about
underlying control mechanisms and the efficacy of a foot drop stimulator. This investigation …

Introduction Stroke is currently the main cause of permanent disability in adults. The
impairments are a combination of sensory, motor, cognitive and emotional changes that …
