Table 2.
The initial settings and alignment conditions (A1 to A4) of the AFO tested in each subject. The initial alignment setting is highlighted in light gray.

Abbreviations: DF, dorsiflexion; PF, plantarflexion
Note: Resistance settings were adjusted by counting the number of turns away from the locked position. The numbers in the table for dorsiflexion and plantarflexion resistance indicate the number of turns away from the locked position. Thus, the larger number indicates less resistance.
