An orthopedic device includes a frame, a brace component, and a suspension element supporting the brace component and connecting the brace component to the frame. The suspension element is suspended relative to the frame and capable of independent movement relative thereto in a controlled manner.

A brace and kit of braces with a method of use. The multi-digit brace includes first and second arcuate members coupled together by top and bottom bridge members. There are raised rails disposed about the circumference of the brace that form a band track within which an elastic band may be disposed to secure the brace to the fingers/toes of a hand/foot. The arcuate members are thinner near the bottom to allow for greater flex/bend of adjacent joints. The arcuate members are spaced from each other and form an hourglass shaped void therebetween. The arcuate members may form complete circles or may have gaps. The kit may include a plurality of braces and a plurality of bands/wraps/straps. The method includes installing a plurality of braces so that they face back-to-back towards a middle joint with thinner regions of each brace near the palmar side of the middle joint.

The Ambulatory Device is the only product of its kind that has the capability of spacing the legs and feet apart at a proper width to prevent slipping, tripping, and falling when relearning how to walk. This unprecedented device is uniquely designed with an adjustable bar that can be modified to accommodate specific user body metrics and is carefully crafted with durable, high-quality materials to ensure long-term sustainability during private or therapeutic sessions.

A movement limiting system for supporting, aligning, preventing, or correcting deformities includes a calf shell that is adapted to form around a calf of a human user. A heel shell is adapted to form around a heel of the human user. A calf shell flap is connected to a calf shell ring. A heel shell flap is connected to a heel shell ring. A cord has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the calf shell ring and the second end is connected to the heel shell ring. Additionally, the cord can be connected to a user's leg at one end and a walker at the other end.

A support for an article has a body arranged for length adjustment along a length adjustment axis. A tensioning device is connected to the support and adjustment of the tensioning device shortens or lengthens a length of the support along the length adjustment axis. The body defines at least one opening overlapping at least part of the length adjustment axis such that length adjustment is governed by modification of the size of the at least one opening according to adjustment by the tensioning device.

A knee brace worn by a user includes an upper frame assembly having a first pair of arms coupled together by an upper strap that encircles the user's thigh, each arm in the first pair of arms having an upper housing, a lower frame assembly having a second pair of arms coupled together by a lower strap that encircles a leg portion of the user, each arm in the second pair of arms having a lower housing pivotably mounted to one of the pair of upper housings of the first pair of arms, and a pair of spring assemblies connected to the brace. Each spring assembly is disposed within one of the upper housings and one of the lower housings, and includes a torsion spring that adjusts to one of a plurality of positions to permit the spring to store mechanical energy at a desired level.

An apparatus that includes a composite fuselage and motion control system designed to protect the human leg from knee pain and muscular fatigue created by repetitive vertical movement or extended periods of squatting. Fuselage panels and frame encapsulate the leg and functionally integrate with hard shell boots to create a rigid exoskeleton structure that resists radial displacement of the knee or ankle. The fuselage open clamshell leg harness utilizes wide composite body panels that disperse pressure across a large surface area, allowing the harness to provide body mass support and device securement without restriction of the body's circulatory system.

A support for an article has a body arranged for length adjustment along a length adjustment axis. A tensioning device is connected to the support and adjustment of the tensioning device shortens or lengthens a length of the support along the length adjustment axis. The body defines at least one opening overlapping at least part of the length adjustment axis such that length adjustment is governed by modification of the size of the at least one opening according to adjustment by the tensioning device.

A device for managing patellofemoral pain includes a wearable anchor structure configured to be positioned adjacent to the knee joint of a user. A spring mechanism is attachable, during use, to the anchor structure at first and second attachment positions located laterally and medially of the knee joint, respectively. An attachment component is coupled to the spring mechanism and has an attachment surface configured to be removably attached, during use, to the skin over the patella of the user such that the spring mechanism applies a tension force on the attachment component in an anterior direction. Methods for managing patellofemoral pain and realigning the patella and a patellofemoral pain management kit are also disclosed.
