Key Points

Quantifying contact pressure in diabetic ankle foot orthoses helps reduce ulcer risk effectively.
This system is the first to measure subject-AFO interaction accurately, enabling targeted design improvements.
The approach includes analysis of relative motion between AFO sections, providing insights for future modifications.
Understanding AFO interactions may significantly aid in developing better footwear solutions for diabetic patients.

Implication

This method quantifies contact pressure and motion in ankle foot orthoses, highlighting design improvements.

Abstract

We have developed a means to evaluate the contact pressure between a subject and an ankle - foot - orthosis (AFO), and the relative motion of sections of the AFO. This system will, for the first time, quantify the subject - AFO interaction, and form the basis for future design modifications and computer analyses.
