摘要：

The ankle foot orthosis (AFO) is used as the gait assistive tool for hemiplegic patients. The structural characteristics of the AFO are applied to the state of the patient. However, the prescription guide for hemiplegic patients is not well established. The purpose of this study is to develop design guide to find out the structural characteristics of polypropylene of AFO used for hemiplegics. hi this study, the rigidities of dorsillexion and plantarflexion of the AFO with varied types of ankle widths are investigated and performed by using FEM code.
