Adaptive control of a variable-impedance ankle-foot orthosis to assist drop-foot gait
Joaquin A. Blaya,Hugh M. Herr +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that a variable-impedance orthosis may have certain clinical benefits for the treatment of drop-foot gait compared to conventional ankle-foot orthoses having zero or constant stiffness joint behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
E-Health Technologies Show Promise In Developing Countries
TL;DR: A systematic review of evaluations of e-health implementations in developing countries found that systems that improve communication between institutions, assist in ordering and managing medications, and help monitor and detect patients who might abandon care show promise.
