A prosthetic cover for a prosthetic support element can include a substantially cylindrical hollow body with a first end and a second end and sized to fit around a support element of a prosthesis. A first flexible end seal and a second flexible end seal can each attach with the substantially cylindrical hollow body at the first and second ends, respectively, and connect the hollow body with the support element of the prosthesis by deforming about the support element when the prosthetic cover is installed around the support element.

The invention relates to a method for configuring a controller of an orthopedic device, which has at least one data processing device (10), sensors (20) coupled thereto and an actuator (30) which is activated and/or deactivated by the data processing device (10), the controller having a basic function block (40), in which a basic functionality of the actuator (30) is defined, a plurality of additional function blocks (60), which have different additional functionalities, being provided to an interface device (50) from a memory (15) and at least one additional function block (60) being selected and added to the basic function block (40) by way of the interface device (50), there being an interface (46) between the basic function block (40) and the at least one additional function block (60), the compatibility of the functionalities being checked and an overall functionality being generated at said interface, an adjustment of at least one functionality being carried out to establish compatibility, or an inclusion of the additional functionality being rejected, in the case of lack of compatibility at the outset.

A prosthesis device has a rotary damper and a displacing device with a magnetorheological fluid in a damper volume of a housing. Two partition units divide the damper volume into two or more variable chambers. The partition units include a partition wall connected with the housing and a partition wall connected with a damper shaft. Radial gaps are formed in the radial direction between the partition wall on the housing and the damper shaft, and between the partition wall on the damper shaft and the housing. An axial gap is formed in the axial direction between the partition unit, the damper shaft and the housing. The magnetic field of the magnetic field source passes through at least two of the gaps.
