Abstract: A method of constructing a sensor includes depositing a first material in a predetermined arrangement to form a structure. The depositing results in at least one void occurring within the structure. The method further includes depositing a second material within the voids. The second material may have electrical properties that vary according to deformation of the second material. The method also includes providing electrical access to the second material to enable observation of the one or more electrical properties. A sensor includes a structure that has one or more voids distributed within the structure. The sensor also includes a material deposited within the one or more voids. The material may be characterized by one or more electrical properties such as piezoresistivity.

Abstract: The Active Knee Rehabilitation Orthotic System (ANdROS) is a wearable and portable assistive tool for gait rehabilitation and monitoring of people with motor control deficits due to a neurological ailment, such as stroke. ANdROS reinforces a desired gait pattern by continually applying a corrective torque around the knee joint, commanded by a impedance controller. A sensorized yet unactuated brace worn on the unimpaired leg is used to synchronize the playback of the desired trajectory based on the user's intent. The device is mechanically grounded through two ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) rigidly attached to the main structure, which helps reduce the weight perceived by the user.

Abstract: Current Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology allows for single step manufacturing of complex mechanisms with embedded parts. The ability to quickly move from concept to workable prototype is essential in a fast-paced field such as medicine. A patient specific ankle- foot orthotic device using this technology is disclosed. This exemplary device is used to help stabilize the ankle-foot region in patients with limited mobility, and, more specifically, the medical condition drop foot. The purpose of this device is to match or exceed the fit, comfort and effectiveness of a standard orthotic device while giving attention to the patient's specific needs and anatomy.
