According to various embodiments of the invention, an orthotic device
comprises an upper support member adapted to be secured to a thigh; a
lower support member adapted to be secured to a lower leg; a means of
connecting the upper support member to the lower support member; a
conformable, discrete liner segment attached to the upper or lower
support member configured to provide a conforming interface with the
thigh or lower leg; a first electrode disposed on the liner segment
configured to contact the leg; a second electrode configured to contact
the leg; and an electrostimulation unit in electrical contact with the
first and second electrodes and configured to provide an electrophysical
