The research team's aim is to investigate the effects of the team's soft robotic socks in
providing assisted ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion and promoting venous blood flow in
stroke patients. Specifically, the investigators intend to 1) observe the development of
joint contracture in terms of the range of motion of the ankle joint given the use of the
device 2) monitor the presence of blood clots in the deep veins using compression Duplex
ultrasonography given the use of the sock device.
The investigators hypothesize that a soft robotics approach can provide compliant actuation
to simulate natural ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, which will consequently promote
blood circulation in the lower leg of stroke patients who have not previously developed ankle
joint contracture. This will prevent the occurrence of DVT and movement in the ankle joint
will alleviate stiffness. This robotic sock intervention is to prevent the development of
ankle joint contracture so established ankle contractures will be excluded from this study.
