Abstract
Custom carbon-fiber composite ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) have been anecdotally reported to improve gait of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) patients. The purpose of the study was to characterize the spatio-temporal, joint kinetic and mechanical responses of a custom carbon fiber AFO during locomotion for persons diagnosed with CMT.
