Flaccid Paresis, Spastic Paresis
Comparing Digitally and Traditionally Made Ankle Foot Orthoses
The research is being done to compare two methods of creating AFOs: 1. The traditional method, which involves manually creating a mold from a plaster cast of the client's limb. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive; and 2.
