Abstract
A small, lightweight, adjustable knee orthosis for restoring gait symmetry. The orthosis includes a rotary damper for variable damping at the knee joint of the user, and a spring member for variable stiffness at the knee joint of the user. An exemplary application of the device is as a rehabilitation device for individuals who have had a stroke, as the device is designed to induce larger knee flexion as an aftereffect.
