Immediate effect evaluation of a robotic ankle–foot orthosis with customized algorithm for a foot drop patient: a quantitative and qualitative case report

This study aims to evaluate the immediate effect of a robotic ankle–foot orthosis developed in previous studies on a foot drop patient. The difference with previous research on AFO evaluation is that this research used a setting based on the patient’s request. The robotic AFO locked the foot positio...
