Testing force in a carbon fiber leg brace cuff
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how well a sensor measures force in the top part of a carbon fiber leg brace. It may help improve brace design for people who need them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new type of leg brace for people who currently use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to help with walking or daily activities after a lower leg injury. The goal is to see if the new brace works better and is more comfortable.
This trial is studying how different types of ankle braces (AFOs) affect walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It may help find the best brace to improve mobility.
This study tests how different levels of stiffness in a custom carbon fiber foot brace (called a dynamic orthosis) change the way your foot hits the ground while walking. If you are a healthy adult without recent injuries or pain, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how changing the heel height and stiffness of an AFO (a brace you wear on your lower leg/foot) changes your walking pattern. The goal is to learn which brace settings may improve comfort and walking.
This study tests whether a custom carbon fiber brace can help people with foot or ankle injuries walk with less pain and better balance. If you have an injury below your knee and need a special brace, this trial may be a good fit.
This study tests if changing the height of a heel lift in a custom foot brace can improve how weight is distributed on your foot after a serious ankle or hindfoot injury. If you have pain when walking, this could help find better ways to reduce that pain.
