... to enhance lower limb orthotic design for individuals with SCI. The walking velocity of the subjects in this research study was 5.9 ± 1.5 m/s, which was less than that of normal walking [( 23 24 )]. Decreased stride length and cadence were the main causes of decrease in walking velocity. Restriction...

These splints outdate clinical treatment trends and only apply to patients who are of nonwalking age. This study shows that a new procedure utilizing computer aided design and the finite element method can...
