This paper aims to describe a solution that might be used to measure, and assess, the optimal angle, in the ankle joint, of a foot drop orthosis. This is done using a low-cost device composed of an Arduino UNO board; MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope module; 16x2 LCD; servo motor SG90; a protractor and a portable battery. The solution described might be done as simple DIY work with accessible materials and some technical knowledge. The device described in this paper is not an innovation, it could be identified on other open-access sources in various configurations. The paper describes what this device is made of and how it is used to adjust the optimal angle in the ankle joint for those who use foot drop orthosis. The critical study indicates there exist many devices and methods that can be used to assess the range of motion in joints. The paper also presents a bibliographic study made to understand the relevance of some keywords/terms, specific to this study, in a recognized database.

摘要

This paper aims to describe a solution that might be used to measure, and assess, the optimal angle, in the ankle joint, of a foot drop orthosis. This is done using a low-cost device composed of an Arduino UNO board; MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope module; 16x2 LCD; servo motor SG90; a protractor and a portable battery. The solution described might be done as simple DIY work with accessible materials and some technical knowledge. The device described in this paper is not an innovation, it could be identified on other open-access sources in various configurations. The paper describes what this device is made of and how it is used to adjust the optimal angle in the ankle joint for those who use foot drop orthosis. The critical study indicates there exist many devices and methods that can be used to assess the range of motion in joints. The paper also presents a bibliographic study made to understand the relevance of some keywords/terms, specific to this study, in a recognized database.
