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 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.
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 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.
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.
