Mechanical energy in overground walking of intrepid dynamic exoskeletal orthosis users

The Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis (IDEO) is a custom-made carbon fiber orthosis, typically prescribed to patients who experience pain or deficits in strength and range of motion in the foot or ankle joints. The use of the IDEO results in differences in work and power outputs, and work-ratios of the affected limb in the structures below the knee.
