| Abstract | Joint orthoses such as ankle foot orthoses are known. An ankle foot orthotic controls position and motion of an ankle, compensates for ankle weakness, or corrects deformities. One ankle foot orthosis design is a hinge-less sleeve or wrap-around that can be worn like a sock. This design provides a lower level of ankle immobilization. A hinge-type ankle foot orthotic design comprises rigid ankle-receiving and foot-receiving portions, coupled to each other by a distinct hinge. This provides a greater degree of immobilization. The hinge may comprise a rivet, and strengthening material to strengthen the area around the rivet. The hinge is bulky and can cause discomfort when the ankle foot orthotic is worn under a shoe. The hinge offers limited shock absorption and movement resistance which can cause discomfort. |
| Keywords | joint orthoses; ankle ; hinge-less sleeve |
