Project Overview

Create a device that actively enhances forefoot step-off and increases proprioception to improve balance for people experiencing ankle weakness, foot-drop and the inability to walk and balance safely as a result of various neurological diseases such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, multiple sclerosis and stroke. The device should be non-obtrusive, fit in a shoe, comfortably attach to the leg, and be economical.
