Study Summary
The primary purpose of this research study is to determine if the stiffness of a commercially available ankle foot orthosis (Malleo-Lok, Bio-Mechanical Composites, Des Moines IA) impacts gait biomechanics and overall joint level stiffness. Previously published research suggests that AFO stiffness can affect gait biomechanics and patient preference. However, previous studies have focused on traditional posterior strut devices with the strut aligned in the frontal plane to allow sagittal plane deflection. The Malleo-Lok is a novel, low-profile carbon fiber device with two laterally positioned struts aligned in the sagittal plane. The proposed study will provide insight that can be used by certified prosthetists orthotists (CPOs), physical therapists, and physicians to select the device that bests meets their patients' needs.
Primary Outcome
Ground reaction force and ankle motion data were collected simultaneously using the force measurement and motion capture systems as participants wore no brace (NoCDO), a moderate stiffness orthosis (Compliant) and a stiff orthosis (Stiff) in a randomized order. The ankle motion data was plotted against the ankle moment data and the slope of the corresponding line was the resulting ankle joint stiffness (Nm/degree).
