Biomechanical Evaluation of Pneumatic Sleeve Orthosis for Lofstrand Crutches

Crutch walking, especially when using a swing-through gait pattern, is associated with high, repetitive joint forces, hyperextension/ulnar deviation of the wrist, and excessive palmar pressure that compresses the median nerve. To reduce these adverse effects, we designed a pneumatic sleeve orthosis...
