New Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthosis (DAFO) / Mohd Nor Azmi Ab Patar … [et al.]
The ankle-foot of human body is a multi-joint structure which provides complex foot motion such as dorsiflexion-plantar flexion, extension, abduction-adduction and inversion-eversion rotation motion. Injury or disease can result in abnormal gait motion of the ankle-foot. Currently, awareness and int...
