| Zusammenfassung: | In recent years innovations in orthotic devices for the lower extremities have emerged after decades of inertia. Stance Control knee joints and the application of new materials, especially carbon composites are the most exciting. In this symposium the current standings regarding orthotic devices for the lower extremities in non-spastic disorders will be reviewed and future developments will be discussed. A concern is that the amount of research on the effectiveness of lower extremity orthotics is rather scarce. However, results of high-quality research will become more important in the future to demonstrate the benefits of new technology. The symposium will end with a presentation on the crucial methodological issue which outcomes should be applied in clinical trials. |

![]() Finden der optimalen AFO - Einfluss der mechanischen Eigenschaften auf einen effizienten Gang Zusammenfassung:
The mechanical AFO characteristics, such as the stiffness and neutral angle around the forefoot and ankle joints, need to be well-tailored to the patients gait related problems in order to improve walking efficiency. AFOs with different stiffnesses have different effects throughout the gait phase.

![]() Momentane und zukünftige Trends für standsichernde und angetriebene orthetische Hilfsmittel Zusammenfassung:
The role of the orthotist is changing from a provider of passive devices to a clinician that provides intelligent assistive devices that adaptively control motion and, in the near future, actively enhance mobility. Recent advances will be discussed for stance control orthoses provide a wide range of control options and powered lower extremity orthoses.
