Kinematics analysis of lower limb orthoses

Objective: The aim of this paper is to measure the spatial-temporal position of the lower limb joints using imaging and kinematic analysis of standard markers.Method: This study was performed on a healthy subject while walking with traditional kafo orthosis compared to normal gait using repeated measures.Finding: The maximum and minimum points of the curve corresponding to the linear and angular velocities at the ankle joint were obtained on the sagittal plane xz.Conclusion: In comparison with P.VALUE, linear velocities of left and right ankle of a healthy person with traditional orthosis and without orthosis in the x, y, z axis were found to be significant values.
