The aim of this work was to study the different types of passive articulated and non-articulated ankle-foot orthoses for gait rehabilitation in terms of working principles, control mechanisms, features, and limitations, along with the recent clinical trials on AFOs. An additional aim was to categorize them to help engineers and orthotists to develop novel designs based on this research. Based on selected keywords and their composition, a search was performed on the ISI Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed databases from 1990 to 2022. Forty-two studies met the eligibility criteria, which highlighted the commonly used types and recent development of passive articulated and non-articulated ankle-foot orthoses for foot drop. Orthotists and engineers may benefit from the information obtained from this review article by enhancing their understanding of the challenges in developing an AFO that meets all the requirements in terms of ease of use, freedom of movement, and high performance at a relatively low cost.
这项工作的目的是从工作原理、控制机制、特点和局限性等方面研究用于步态康复的不同类型的被动关节式和非关节式踝足矫形器，以及近期关于踝足矫形器的临床试验。另一个目的是对它们进行分类，以帮助工程师和矫形师基于这项研究开发新颖的设计。基于选定的关键词及其组合，在1990年至2022年期间对ISI科学网、谷歌学术、Scopus和PubMed数据库进行了检索。42项研究符合纳入标准，这些研究突出了用于足下垂的被动关节式和非关节式踝足矫形器的常用类型和最新进展。矫形师和工程师可能会从这篇综述文章中获得的信息中受益，通过增强他们对开发一种在易用性、运动自由度和高性能方面满足所有要求且成本相对较低的踝足矫形器所面临挑战的理解。
