Abstract
An example of a cuff system for use in an orthotic device having a muscle sensor system includes: a cuff shell that is at least semi-rigid and has a concave cross section, in a plane transverse to a length of the cuff shell, to accommodate attachment of the cuff shell to a limb; a fabric liner disposed in the cuff shell; and a sensor array including a set of sensor contacts, in coordination with the fabric liner, configured to attach to the fabric liner in alignment with a discontinuity of the cuff shell.
