| Abstract | The paper investigates the effect of dorsi/plantar rigidity and the initial angle of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) on the moment generated by ankle musculature (referred to as active ankle moment) during gait in patients with hemiparesis. In the early stance phase, the active ankle moment in the direction of dorsiflexion is negligible, and AFOs play an important role in supplementing weak dorsiflexion. In mid to late stance, the moment generated by AFOs is very small compared with the active ankle moment in the direction of plantarflexion. AFOs therefore play only a limited role in assisting plantar flexors during this period. The active ankle moment in the direction of plantarflexion varies significantly with changes in the rigidity and initial angle of AFOs in 11 out of 20 subjects. The implication of this finding is discussed in relation to the need for dynamic matching of AFOs in individual patients with hemiparesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
