The thesis
aimed at increasing the effectiveness of rehabilitation
of patients suffering from ankle joint injuries by determining the load and
controlling the angle of dorsiflexion/plantar flexion of the ankle joint and
the interactive forces (stresses) affecting during therapeutic exercises and
walking.
The thesis highlighted the design and manufacture of an
economical external structure that combines the kinetic characteristics of
fixed and mobile orthosis, as well as the manufacture of a maintainable and
low-cost force sensor (EMS) used to measure the force applied to the ankle
joint.
The thesis reviewed that the use of the orthotic
structure enhanced the patient's ability to walk naturally, as the design works
to absorb or dissipate the force generated in the ankle joint and push it to
the front of the foot, which led to reducing the problem of ankle stiffness,
accelerating the recovery process and protecting the ankle from side effects.
The thesis
recommended that its results be used to increase the effectiveness of
rehabilitation of patients suffering from ankle joint injuries by determining
the load and controlling the ankle joint dorsiflexion/plantar flexion angle and
the interactive forces (stresses) affecting therapeutic exercises and walking.
