Isolating brace power contribution in intrepid dynamic exoskeletal orthosis users during walking

The IDEO brace improves function in limb salvage patients, yet the isolated power contribution by the brace has not been explored. Using two sets of tracking markers, it was found that the IDEO performed greater negative and positive work than the lower leg system. This is likely a result of the proximal cuff of the brace not being perfectly fixed to the lower leg.
