Plain-language summary

The objective of this research is to compare the new ankle foot orthosis (AFO) with prior support developed by Turbomed, with the AFO with posterior support from Turbomed as well as two competing AFOs currently on the market. With this research, we seek to answer the following questions: * Is the new AFO as biomechanically efficient as the AFOs currently on the market? * Is the new AFO more comfortable than the AFO currently on the market? * Is the new AFO easier to put on and attach than the AFOs currently on the market?
