Abstract

Every day, a greater number of people suffer some type of accident, which ends up resulting in a reduction of the mobility of some limb or part of the human body. As a consequence, the quality of life of these people is considerably reduced. Particularly, a pathology associated with this situation is osteochondritis dissecans of the astragalus, which causes severe pain when the weight of the body is supported on the ankle. In an attempt to prevent or relieve such pain, this article focuses on the design, prototyping and testing of an unloading orthosis. This device does not aim to assist in the dorsiflexion ans plantarflexion movement of the ankle, as most existing solutions do. It pretends to offload axially and redistribute weight externally to the ankle. With this approach, through a series of tests and questionnaires, the evolution of the patients before, during and after using the orthosis has been verified.
