The invention relates to an orthopedic joint with a first component, a second component that is arranged on the first component such that it can be swiveled about a swivel axis, and at least one damper that is configured and arranged to damp a swiveling of the first component relative to the second component, and an actuator for swiveling the first component relative to the second component in at least one direction. According to the invention, the actuator is arranged on the first component or the second component on a medial or lateral side such that it can be detached.

A system and method for creation and function of an advanced prosthetic hand includes: a base palm, comprising the primary body of the prosthetic hand; a set of actuating digits, wherein each actuating digit is connected to the palm; a sleeve, connected to the palm, providing an interface; a sensor system, comprising sensors integrated on a subset of the set of actuating digits; and a feedback system, connected to the sensor system enabling sensory feedback from the sensor system. In preferred variations, the base palm comprises, at least partially, a carbon-fiber shell. The system may further include a set of water sealing elements integrated into the prosthetic hand. The system functions as a hand prosthesis with actuating digit and hand components.

A transfemoral prosthetic level socket system for a user's lower limb comprising modular socket components fitted to the individual user's residual limb having a mounting point for an attachment, at least one compliant member attached to at least one stabilizing unit, and at least one second compliant member attached to at least one stabilizing unit wherein the first compliant member and the second compliant member work in cooperation with the stabilizing unit(s) to control bone position and support the limb within the interface.

An apparatus includes a detachable foot and a connector for detachably connecting a prosthetic limb socket to the detachable foot. The connector includes a proximal connector detachably connected to the prosthetic limb socket. The proximal connector has a proximal portion of a locking mechanism. There is also a distal connector detachably connected to the detachable foot. The distal connector includes a distal portion of the locking mechanism. The proximal portion of the locking mechanism and the distal portion of the locking mechanism are detachably connecting the proximal connector to the distal connector.

An ankle-foot orthosis which is capable of being worn by a user in an acquatic environment which is lightweight, water-resistant, and reduces the amount of hydrodynamic drag during motion of a leg of a user when in water. The ankle-foot orthosis can be fully customizable to the needs of the user. The ankle-foot orthosis including three protective components; a shank shell, a shin plate, and a foot shell. The ankle-foot orthosis optionally including an additional protective component; a dorsal foot plate. At least one flow passage within each of the shank shell and the foot shell. The at least one flow passage providing water drainage and air ventilation, and reducing the overall weight of the shank shell and foot shell.

A prosthesis including a socket configured to receive a residual limb, a pylon attached to the socket, the pylon comprising at least one fin, and an artificial foot attached to an end portion of the pylon.

A magnetic and electrical interface that may be used with an assistive device. The interface comprises a proximal connector and a distal connector. The proximal connector may be attached to a liner for a residual limb and the distal connector may be attached to a hard socket or other aspect of an assistive device. Other aspects of and uses for the connector interface are also disclosed.

A dual purpose prosthetic foot system enables a person to use the same prosthetic to either walk or swim. The foot part is joined at the ankle and can be locking in either a walking position or a swimming position. The foot allows common swimming equipment such as flippers to be attached.

A lower limb prosthetic device for use when bathing and showering includes a first shell. A rod is coupled to and extends substantially perpendicularly from an upper face of the first shell. A second shell, which has a top that is open, is coupled to and extends from the rod distal from the first shell. The second shell is substantially complementary to and configured to insert a stump of an amputated leg. A plurality of bladders, which is selectively inflatable, is coupled to an inner surface of the second shell. The bladders are configured to be inflated to couple the second shell to the stump. A plurality of first holes and a plurality of second holes are positioned through the first shell and the second shell, respectively. The first holes and the second holes are configured to drain water from the first shell and the second shell, respectively.

The prosthetic device is a general use prosthetic device for shower and daily mobility applications which provides a semi-custom fit. The semi-custom fitment of the leg height and anatomical sizing of the affected leg amputation are possible via configurable liner pads which can be interchanged within the support socket based on need by the wearer. The device is capable of being used on either the left or right leg with no modifications to the device and can be secured to the wearers residual limb via a friction fit between the socket liner and limb. Furthermore, an ergonomic handle and grip provides another point of control for the device to assure safety and security.
