Resumen

The control reference parameter suggested in this study is implemented in a Passive-Controlled Ankle Foot Orthosis (PICAFO) equipped with magnetorheological (MR) brake on its ankle joint. Previously, the PICAFO has been shown to successfully deal with foot drop by locking the foot ankle position during the swing phase. By adding functions such as stance assistance, the user can get more benefits when using the PICAFO.
