Variable Stiffness AFO
An ankle foot orthosis to optimize gait mechanics
While studying my Master's of Biomedical engineering at Brown University, I completed a 2 year masters research thesis titled "Design of a Variable Stiffness Ankle Foot Orthosis". Focused on designing an AFO which could achieve high stiffness in dorsiflexion and low stiffness in plantarflexion to optimize gait for drop foot patients.
