| description abstract | Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a wellsuited additive manufacturing technique for generating subjectspecific passivedynamic anklefoot orthoses (PDAFOs). However, the mechanical properties of SLS PDAFOs may differ from those of commonly prescribed carbon fiber (CF) PDAFOs. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine if biomechanical measures during gait differ between CF and stiffnessmatched SLS PDAFOs. Subjectspecific SLS PDAFOs were manufactured for ten subjects with unilateral lowerlimb impairments. Minimal differences in gait performance occurred when subjects used the SLS versus CF PDAFOs. These results support the use of SLS PDAFOs to study the effects of altering design characteristics on gait performance. | |
