Abstract
A practical method that directly measures moments and forces in conventional KAFOs has been applied to show that conventional gait analysis techniques substantially underestimate knee joint moments in the KAFOs of persons with poliomyelitis. Underestimation of orthotic loads could result in underdesigned orthotic components and ultimately higher incidence of component failure in clinical applications.
