Embrace 2025 is a vision for the future of the medical footwear industry. It’s a speculative design approach for enhanced mobility for children with foot equinus, a common condition found in those with cerebral palsy. Foot equinus leads to an imbalance of gait and in-toeing of the foot, making walking difficult. Embrace uses an adaptive smart brace to stimulate muscles during imbalanced movement while facilitating natural gait through a posture-control mechanism. Embrace aims to facilitate faster therapy results and ankle-foot brace recovery while conditioning users to turn their limitations into capabilities.
