Brief Summary:
Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs), inspired by the structure and function of natural muscles, offer a lightweight and adaptable solution compared to traditional rigid Ankle Foot Orthosis(AFOs).
Detailed Description:
The development process involves design optimization to ensure proper, fit, functionality and durability. Researchers utilize advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to create PAMs that mimic the natural movement of the ankle joint while providing sufficient support and flexibility. Evaluation of PAMs involves rigorous testing in both laboratory settings and real world environments. Bio-mechanical analysis assesses the performance of PAMs during various activities such as walking, running and stair negotiation. Critical trails involving patients with AFOs provide valueable feedback on usability, comfort and overall satisfaction. Additionally, long-term studied monitor the durability and reliability of PAMs over extended periods of use. Overall, the development and evaluation of PAMs for patient with AFOs represent a significant advancement in assistive technology. By offering a more natural and adaptive solution for gait assistance, PAMs enhance mobility, independence and quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments.
