Iterative Design of Custom Dynamic Orthoses and Comprehensive Design of Musculoskeletal Model
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Carbon Fiber Custom Dynamic Orthosis (CDO) for Adult ALL and Healthy. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed study evaluates the effect of carbon fiber brace design on forces across the ankle joint. It is expected that carbon fiber braces can be designed to reduce forces in the ankle. In this study, brace geometry will be varied to determine how these changes influence the forces experienced by ankle cartilage. The purpose of this study is to refine a pre-existing musculoskeletal model and finalize the procedures for inputting multiple data sources into the model to evaluate ankle articular contact stresses.

Timeline
Interventions
The CDO will consist of a semi-rigid foot plate, a posterior carbon fiber strut, and a proximal cuff below the knee.
