Summary
This study aims to see if special force sensors can reliably measure how tight a carbon-fiber leg brace (ankle-foot orthosis) presses against the leg. Researchers will test 60 people: healthy volunteers, regular brace users without nerve damage, and regular brace users with peripheral neuropathy. Participants will sit, stand, and walk while sensors record forces, helping improve future brace design and fitting.
