A leg restraint system to hold a person's thighs together while seated with bent legs, including a strap having a first strap end and a second strap end, a buckle, the buckle having a first latchable end and a second latchable end, wherein the first latchable end is affixed to the first strap end and the second latchable end affixed to the second strap end, one or more keepers configured to gather the first strap end and a second strap end, a bungee binder, the bungee binder configured to hold the strap in a stored position and, thus, functions to be easily used to carry or transport the leg restraint system and utilize the leg restraint system to clasp, cinch, and hold a seated passengers bent legs in parallel and prevent their bent legs from spreading to a V-spread and encroaching on another adjacent traveler's designated leg space.

An animal leg support brace apparatus for facilitating animal leg injury recovery includes a wrap body. A pair of shoulder straps is coupled to the wrap body. Each shoulder strap has a strap proximal end coupled to the wrap body and a strap distal end. A first wrap engagement member and a second wrap engagement member are coupled to the wrap body and the pair of shoulder straps, respectively, to secure the wrap body around an animal's injured leg. A pair of strap engagement members is coupled to the pair of shoulder straps to secure the pair of shoulder straps around the animal's shoulders.

The invention is a brace that secures to a person's chest, waist and legs. The brace includes a chest frame that supports the anterior chest and and a thigh frame that supports the anterior thighs where the two frames are pivotably connected to each other. In addition, an extension spring links the torso frame and the thigh frame such that when a user is bending over, i.e. flexed or in a state of flexion, in which gravity is exerting a greater downward force on the torso, a counter-force is exerted on the person's chest, with the counter-force increasing in magnitude as the degree of flexion at the waist increases.

A rescue device comprising a closed loop element made of a flexible material and first and second slidable elements mounted to the closed loop element so as to be slidable therealong while frictionally engaging the closed loop element. The first and second slidable elements each pinch the closed loop element against itself to define a pair of opposed end loop portions and an intermediate loop portion extending therebetween, the intermediate loop portion extending between the first and second slidable elements and each of the end loop portions extending from a respective one of the first and second slidable elements opposed to the intermediate loop portion.

The invention relates to a holder, which can be fixed around the elbows of a person to prevent that person to make hitting movements. By means of a belt, strap or a pin, which can be inserted through holes in both sides of said holder, or a shackle, the elbow can be secured in the holder. If the holder is fixed around someone's elbow, the wearer can not fully stretch his arm anymore, necessary for delivering a blow with his fist. However the arm still has sufficient freedom of movement and the user can still bend his arm to 90 degrees. Therefore the user can still perform all daily activities.

A removable and replaceable hip orthotic that includes a back panel formed from a rigid material that supports a patient's lumbar area; a front panel formed from the rigid material that supports the patient's abdomen area and is hinged to the back panel to allow application and removal of the orthotic to the patient; a leg support that extends from the back support that includes a space that allows a patient's leg to pass through into the leg support; and straps to secure the back panel to the front panel and the leg into the leg support. The back panel includes a pair of windows with a trochanter pad movably disposed within the windows. An adjustment mechanism selectively moves the trochanter pads relative to the greater trochanter regions of the hips of the patient to apply pressure to the hip joint to prevent dislocation of the femoral head.

A diaper changing assistance device. The diaper changing assistance device provides efficiency to a parent changing a diaper of an infant. A rod is attached between an infant's ankles by a pair of ringed members. The rod can be freely lifted by the parent so that the parent is able to change the diaper of the infant with reducing flailing and movement of the infant.

The invention relates to an orthopedic device for supporting a lower back of a user, wherein the orthopedic device comprises at least one mechanical energy store (6), a pelvic element (2), an upper body element (48) and an upper leg element (4), wherein the mechanical energy store (6) can be charged and discharged by swivelling the upper leg element (4) relative to the upper body element (48), wherein the upper body element (48) is arranged on the pelvic element (2) by means of two rail elements (14), wherein the rail elements (14) are each arranged with a first end on the pelvic element (2) such that they can swivelled about at least a first swivel axis (18) and with a second end (20) opposite the first end (16) on the upper body element (48) such that they can be swivelled about at least a second swivel axis (22).

The invention relates to an orthopedic device for supporting a back, especially a lower back, of a user, wherein the device comprises an upper body element 48, an upper leg element 4 and a first passive actuator 8, which is configured to apply a force to the upper leg element 4 and/or the upper body element 48 when an angle between the upper leg element 4 and the upper body element 48 is within a first predetermined angular range, wherein the device comprises at least a second passive actuator 10, which is configured to apply a force to the upper leg element 4 and/or the upper body element 48 when the angle is within a predetermined second angular range that is different to the first angular range.

A shoulder immobilizer (20) includes a semi-rigid or rigid orthosis, in the form of an arm support (22), which supports the upper arm, elbow, forearm and wrist of a patient. A bolster (24) is positioned between the patient and the arm support (22). A body strap (26) extends around the patient and attaches to the arm support (22) and/or the bolster (24), holding the arm support and bolster in position against the body of the patient. In embodiments, the shoulder immobilizer (20) may utilize a shoulder strap (28), but such a shoulder strap is not necessary for shoulder immobilization of the patient.
