Method for instrumentation of orthotic joints for measurement of internal joint loads
The lack of knowledge of mechanical loads in orthotic joints can lead to oversized or breaking components. Previous studies suffer from small sample size and technical limitations. The goal of this study was to develop and validate a method that allows the direct measurement of moments in sagittal,...

| Summary: | The lack of knowledge of mechanical loads in orthotic joints can lead to oversized or breaking components. Previous studies suffer from small sample size and technical limitations. The goal of this study was to develop and validate a method that allows the direct measurement of moments in sagittal, frontal and transverse planes in knee and ankle joints of existing custom made orthoses. |
