PropertyValue
?:definition
  • Powered functional total lower-limb orthoses designed for external modification of the structural and/or functional characteristics of the complete lower limb using power sources (usually electric) and powered mechanisms that respond to the user\'s switching actions (i.e., autonomous). These devices provide support, supplement, and/or augment the limb functions and/or its structure. These orthoses typically consist of dynamic wearable devices that include a control unit, an actuator, power sources, motors, and a variety of mechanisms appropriate to facilitate the normal function of otherwise disabled one or both lower limbs. Autonomous powered lower-limb orthoses are used to make gait possible.
