SMAFO: Stiffness Modulated Ankle Foot Orthosis For A Patient With Foot Drop by Ihsan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document presents a portable stiffness modulation mechanism for an Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) utilizing pneumatic stiffness. The mechanism consists of two units: a driving unit that controls an air pump and an AFO unit that performs free motion and stiffness modulation functions. The actuation from the driving unit to the AFO unit via pneumatic hose makes the effective weight of the device light compared to directly driven devices. The effectiveness of the proposed AFO was validated by experiments in a p
