Summary

This research will present the biomechanical assessment of a robotic device for ankle assistance during gait on stroke's survivors with hemiparesis. Gait pattern through an optoelectronic motion capture system will be analyzed. Additionally, ergonomic and comfort aspects will be measured by an adapted spanish version of Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology (QUEST)

Detailed description

This research will present the biomechanical assessment of a robotic device for ankle assistance during gait on stroke's survivors with hemiparesis. The device is composed by a passive orthosis structure which allows one degree of freedom (DOF) among the sagittal plane and it includes two servomotors attached to the user's foot through velcro strips. Gait pattern through an optoelectronic motion capture system will be analyzed. Additionally, ergonomic and comfort aspects will be measured by an adapted spanish version of Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology (QUEST)

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Assisted gait with a motorized ankle foot orthosis	The motorized ankle foot orthosis is a powered lower extremity assistance device with an actuated ankle joint. A novel control software has been design and implemented in this device, which allows precise joint movement and recording of data from training session.
