Ankle-Foot Orthosis Made by 3D Printing Technique and Automated Design Software

Figure 7

The conventional AFO (blue line) caused the ankle to be in a more dorsiflexed state in the swing phase, compared to the 3D-printed AFO (black line) and without AFO (red line), which caused the least dorsiflexed state. The foot rotation in the transverse plane was corrected the most with the conventional AFO, followed by the 3D-printed AFO, and it was least corrected without an AFO. The ankle eversion was corrected the same with the conventional and 3D-printed AFO.
