First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study compares two ways of making ankle-foot braces (AFOs) for people with leg weakness from conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury. The traditional method uses a plaster cast, while the newer method uses 3D scanning and printing. Researchers want to see if the digital braces work just as well and are more convenient. About 50 people aged 8 and older will take part.
