Overview • Lay out roadmap for air muscle-driven active Ankle-Foot Orthotic • Eliminate the condition known as “foot drop” Midstance Foot Drop (Between Propulsive and Contact Phase)
Functional Decomposition Cont. The active ankle foot orthotic must mitigate the effects of foot drop. Support Portability Modifies Foot Behavoir Allows adequate motion Accomodates Range of Users Compares current and ideal states Controls Foot Position Allows plantar flexion and dorsiifle-xion Reduce/eliminate custom fitting process Removable Safely Receive Energy Safely store Energy Safely Regulate Energy Easily Adjustable Determine Current State Determine Ideal State Appliesforce to foot Senses Terrain Identifies phase of gait Identifies phase of gait Determines foot position Utilizes terrain sensing system Utilizes terrain sensing system Interprets sensor data
Potential Concepts • Ratchet and flexible air muscle pictures
Feedback • Family roadmap and individual project definitions were all approved. • Dr. DeBartolo requested project submission into ASME summer bioengineering competition
