Abstract:
Various neurologic, muscular, and anatomic disorders may cause a weakness in the dorsiflexion muscle group that often results in the development of foot drop. Evaluation of the Walk Easy Assistor demonstrated the efficacy and therapeutic value of using a dynamic support system to perform the functions of an ankle-foot orthotic for select patients.
