A hinge for an orthopedic brace includes: a pivot shaft (223); a lower leg plate (5) pivoted to the pivot shaft (223); an upper leg plate (3); a catch plate (22A, 22B) having a toothed peripheral edge (221); and two position adjusting units (9A, 9B), each of which includes a rotatable limiting seat (91), a limiting pin (921), and a slider body (922). The rotatable limiting seat (91) defines a housing chamber (916) therein, and is formed with a wall slot (913). The slider body (922) is slidably disposed in the housing chamber (916). The limiting pin (921) extends from the slider body (922) through the wall slot (913) for engaging and disengaging the toothed peripheral edge (221). The catch plate (22A, 22B) is formed with a guiding groove (224A, 224B). The rotatable limiting seat (91) has a tongue (917A, 917B) protruding into the guiding groove (224A, 224B).

The present invention is a mechanical assembly for single point torque adjustment, an apparatus and method of use of an improved belt for body support and for assisting body during musculoskeletal activities like heavy lifting, kneeling, bending and walking. The belt employs the single point torque adjusting mechanical assembly with an adjustable hinge along with resilient means which stores potential energy when the user alters from a neutral position and may help the body to return to the neutral position. The belt employs structure to share and direct load from head, neck and back to waist and ground. The apparatus may prevent the user from acquiring spondylitis, kyphosis or osteoporosis. The apparatus may be used for users who are subjected to frequent muscular work like bending up and down while carrying heavy loads, sitting too long, walking and the like.

The invention relates to a device (2) for treating carpal tunnel syndrome of a person's hand, which has a palmar aspect, with thenar and hypothenar regions, and a dorsal aspect opposite the palmar aspect. The cuff (1) has a C-shaped profile in cross section, wherein two ends of the C-shaped profile of the cuff (1) form the cuff opening (1a). The cuff (1) is formed from two or more cuff parts (3), wherein these cuff parts (3) have a C-shaped profile in cross section and are connected to each other by means of a connection element (4) to form the cuff (1). The cuff parts (3) are preferably connected to each other, by means of the connection element, in a movable and/or pivotable and also releasable manner, such that the width of the cuff opening (1a) can be individually adapted for each patient. This results in simple, efficient and safe treatment and handling of the cuff (1) according to the invention or of the device (2).

A motion assistance apparatus comprising: a first object configured to attach to a first portion of a user; a second object configured to attach to a second portion of the user; a frame assembly including, a first longitudinal member configured to connect the first object and the second object, a second longitudinal member spaced apart from the first longitudinal member; and a plurality of distance maintaining members connecting the first longitudinal member and the second longitudinal member, the plurality of distance maintaining members configured to maintain a distance between the first longitudinal member and the second longitudinal member.
摘要:
A dynamic platform with extending struts has fastened thereto a bi-directional torsional power unit to selectively deliver force opposing either extension or flexion, and to provide assistance in a respective opposite direction. The power unit is threadably mounted on a hinge pin (spline) centrally located on the platform, and is latched to a catch assembly radially located thereto, the hinge pin of the platform communicating with one end of a torsion spring of the power unit and the catch assembly communicating with another end of the torsion spring, to selectively deliver the extension/flexion force. The power unit can be detached, with simple manual operation of the catch assembly, without tools, flipped over and reattached to the same platform attachment points to switch (reverse) extension torque to flexion torque and vice versa.

A knee brace (10) according to the invention includes an upper leg formation (12), a lower leg formation (14) and a hinge mechanism (16) that is disposed entirely on the lateral side of the knee. The knee brace (10) has pressure formations (20, 24,62, 28) pressing on three pressure points: on the lateral aspect of the wearer's upper leg, on the lateral aspect of the wearer's lower leg, and against the knee complex on the medial aspect of the distal extremity of the femur. The three pressure formations are connected to one another by a stiff structure (18,16) which includes the hinge mechanism (16).
