Carbon Fiber Off Loading Orthosis (CFO)
A finite element (FE) model will be created to determine properties that will improve CFO strength while maintaining reduction of peak plantar pressures of the CFO and plantarflexor power. A new CFO will then be fabricated for the participant. Participants will be tested in while walking barefoot, wearing their current CFO, and wearing the FE model driven CFO.
