Design and evaluation of a wedge-shaped adaptive knee orthosis for the human lower limbs
In this study, a wedge-shaped adaptive knee orthosis was provided for KOA patients. The four-point force principle was used to balance the force between femurs and tibia and adjust the meniscus contact gap. The orthotic appliance has the advantages of simple mechanical structure, adjustable correction Angle and good wearing comfort.
