Episode 4 - Comparison of Sagittal Plane Stiffness of Nonarticulated Pediatric AFOs Designed to be Rigid

Join Dr. Steve Gard, editor-and-chief for the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, as he chats with Stefania Fatone, PhD, BPO, and Kristie Bjornson PT, PhD, about their research comparing sagittal plane stiffness of nonarticulated pediatric ankle-foot orthoses. The three discuss the motivation and experimental protocol behind the research, primary findings, unanticipated surprises, and clinical takeaways.
