*Abstract

Currently used ankle-foot orthotic devices are designed to fit a range of patients and they do not provide proper comport or support. Moreover, none of the personal adjustments made in such devices are scientific in nature. This approach discloses the development and use of novel, patient specific ankle-foot orthotic devices providing an excellent comfort and a customized support.
