| Abstract: | The results of the dynamic analysis of a below-knee drop foot brace made of reinforced polyester are presented. The investigation was carried out on four paralysed patients. It was found that the highest antero-posterior loads occur in stance phase. The antero-posterior loads were, both in stance and in swing phase, greater than the lateral loads. The results indicate that the loads noted in the plastic braces are similar to those found in metal braces. |
