title = "Limitation of Ankle Mobility Challenges Gait Stability While Walking on Lateral Inclines",
abstract = "Exoskeletons often allow limited movement of the ankle joint. This could increase the chance of falling while walking, particularly on challenging surfaces, such as lateral inclines. In this study, the effect of a mobility limiting ankle brace on gait stability in the frontal plane was assessed, while participants walked on lateral inclines. The brace negatively affected gait stability when it was worn on the leg that was on the vertically lower side or {\textquoteleft}valley side{\textquoteright} of the lateral incline, which would indicate an increased risk of falling in that direction.",
