This article describes the development and evaluation of a new medial
linkage orthosis to potentially assist paraplegic patients to ambulate. METHODS: The orthosis was initially designed using the solid
works program and was subsequently evaluated when used by a spinal cord injury
subject to test the structure during standing and walking. Gait analysis was used
to compare the medial linkage orthosis to a standard hip-knee-ankle-foot
orthosis. FINDINGS AND OUTCOMES: The results demonstrated improvements in gait
velocity, step length, and decreased compensatory motions in the new orthosis
compared to the hip-knee-ankle-foot orthosis. CONCLUSIONS: The results propose
that this new Araz medial linkage orthosis could be used to assist paraplegic
subjects who have adequate ranges of motion and also with weakness or reduced
tone to stand and walk. Clinical relevance The Araz medial linkage orthosis can
potentially provide standing and walking assistance for spinal cord injury
patients.
