Design and Evaluation of a Wearable Powered Foot Orthosis with Metatarsophalangeal Joint
The metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints play critical roles in human locomotion. Functional restriction or loss of MTP joints will lead to lower walking speed, poorer walking balance, and more consumed metabolic energy cost compared with normal walking. However, existing foot orthoses are focused on ma...
