Biomechanics is the scientific domain which deals with the study of biological systems, such as the human body, using physical concepts and mechanical engineering methodologies. It allows the development of new medical devices and provides a quantitative analysis of the subject being studied. In the present work, the effect of an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) was studied on a healthy male subject. For this purpose,...
Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Biomedical Engineering (área de especialização em Biomaterials, Biomechanics and Rehabilitation) ; Ankle-foot orthoses are orthotic devices that support the ankle joint and are appropriate for several pathologies, mostly the ones that cause dropfoot, which is caused by an ankle joint deficiency. In the present work, a planar multibody model of the human body in the sagittal...
