Abstract
We study the strength evaluation analysis of the elastic AFO for patients after Achilles tendon rupture. Some of gait pattern of material testing considers as follows: a)Tensile test, b)Gait test with crutch, c) Gait test without crutch. The present paper describes a method for evaluating the mechanical strength properties from the strain gage data and material testing. The stress distribution of elastic AFO characteristic propensity of the influence of crunch height of heel. And we consider that look at the link between strength properties of elastic AFO and plantar pressure.
