Effect of a robotic insole-type active assist device on horizontal ground reaction force and center-of-pressure stability during stepping in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis

An insole-type active assist device has been developed as a robotic system to dynamically correct ankle alignment at heel contact in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. Although our previous feasibility study demonstrated that the device could be safely used during an on-the-spot stepping task, its effects on loading behavior remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether dynamic ankle alignment correction using the device alters horizontal ground reaction force variability and ce
