An innovative splint is being developed to assist adults with footdrop to walk safely and with more energy efficiency. Footdrop is muscle weakness/paralysis resulting in difficulty lifting the front part of the foot, which causes frequent falls. The benefit of using the OrthoPed splint is that ankle muscles will be used to lift the foot when walking, with the OrthoPed splint providing the extra support that the person is lacking.At present there are limited options for this population and the current market leading splints are often not the most appropriate device.The OrthoPed splints design has been created using many patient and clinician feedback events and there is currently a 2-phase clinical study running in collaboration with a university and 2 NHS Trusts evaluating the OrthoPed splint compared to market leaders. The children's sizes of the OrthoPed splint have been laboratory tested and now we are ready to test the adult sizes. This project will allow rapid development, laboratory testing and biomechanical testing of the splint on adults with foot drop to ensure it is fit for purpose.

正在开发一种创新的夹板，以帮助成年人安全行走，并提高能源效率。脚道是肌肉无力/麻痹，导致难以提升脚的前部，这会导致频繁跌落。使用骨质夹板的好处是，步行时将使用脚踝肌肉来抬起脚，而矫形器的夹板可提供该人所缺乏的额外支撑。目前，该人群的选择有限，当前市场的夹夹通常不是最合适的设备。目前使用了许多矫形器和临床的固定仪，并在其中创建了2-2--在此进行了2--在此进行了2--在此进行了2--临床，并在此处进行了2--临床。 NHS信任与市场领导者相比评估骨牌的夹板。儿童的截骨夹板大小已经过实验室测试，现在我们准备测试成人尺寸。该项目将允许对成年人的夹板进行快速开发，实验室测试和生物力学测试，以确保适合目标。
