Development and Evaluation of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (Pam) for Patients with Drop Foot

Abstract

    This study aimed to develop a Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) model to improve foot function and walking in podiatric patients with foot drop caused by neurological diseases. Determine the PAM for patients who know as compared to AFO and which is more effective. The PAM model was utilized to assist four-foot drop patients with foot drop for 12 weeks, with data collected through documentation and questionnaires for statistical analysis. PAM improves performance in foot drop patients, reduces pain, disability, and foot resistance, and increases overall comfort and function. PAM systems enhance user safety, mobility, and flexibility, necessitating ongoing research and development to enhance design, management, usability, and reliability for clinical use.
