System Integration and Control of Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis for Lower Limb Rehabilitation

Gait disorder is the inability of a person to assume upright position, maintain neither balance nor the aptitude to initiate and sustain rhythmic stepping. This form of disability may originate from cerebellar disease, stroke, spinal injury, cardiac disease or other general conditions that may bring...
