Mathematical model and applicable prescription of ankle-foot orthosis and its early application in analysis of hemiplegic gait of stroke patients / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

With the development of the Multi-Rigid-Body system dynamics theory and computer technology, computer aided design and manufacturing of orthosis have already matured, mathematical mechanical model of human body and orthosis can be established using this new technology, and simulation calculation can be used to determine the orthosis prescription, predict the efficacy and effectiveness of rehabilitation. Early application of ankle-foot orthosis plays an important role in restoration of brain function in stroke patients, resumption of hemiplegic gait and abnormal gait correction. In clinical orthosis prescription, establishment of corresponding mathematical model and speculation of ankle-foot function changes, as well as the effect and mechanism of resumption of brain function in post-stroke patients, have a positive impact on the analysts of hemiplegic gait, orthosis design and gait resumption.
