The present invention relates to a limb orthosis, in particular a knee orthosis, comprising a strap system, wherein a strap as a first section of the strap system is routed in such a manner that the strap crosses over in a first crossover region and that a strap as a second section of the strap system is routed in such a manner that the strap crosses over in a second crossover region.

Methods and apparatus for an orthopedic device. In one embodiment, the orthopedic device includes a first panel defining opposed first and second sides; a second panel having a first end secured to the first side of the first panel along a seam, and a second end securable to the second side of the first panel at a location site; and a first strap having a first end secured to the first side of the first panel along the seam and laying under the second panel, and a second end securable to the second side of the first panel at the location site. The orthopedic device may include a dynamic force strap that includes three ends, that collectively helically extend between upper and lower portions of the orthopedic device and connect to the first panel.

A device promotes triple flexion of the hip, knee and ankle. The device includes a belt, knee cuff, ankle wrap, foot wrap and two pairs of adjustable bands. The device is configured to promote triple flexion in the hip, knee and ankle of the user during the swing phase of walking when the user has the belt wrapped around the user's waist, the knee cuff wrapped around the user's knee, the ankle wrap wrapped around the user's ankle and the foot wrap wrapped around the user's foot.

An orthopedic device for the orthotic or prosthetic provision of a patient. The orthopedic device includes a knee joint which has a proximal upper part and a distal lower part arranged pivotably thereon, an ankle joint, a pivoted foot part which can be fastened distally to the ankle joint, and a shin part arranged between the ankle joint and the knee joint. The upper part of the knee joint or a thigh part fastened thereto that can be attached to the patient's body and is coupled with the foot part by a force transfer device, which causes a plantar flexion of the foot part when a knee is flexed.

A sports tape for placement at a user's knee or elbow includes a first stabilizer portion and a second stabilizer portion configured for placement on opposite sides of the user's knee or elbow. A central portion comprising a bar or circle connects the first stabilizer portion and the second stabilizer portion and is configured to wrap around the user's knee or elbow. A first stabilizer is embedded in the first stabilizer portion, and a second stabilizer is embedded in the second stabilizer portion, disposed inside the sports tape, sandwiched between sports tape layers to provide strength and resiliency to the sports tape.

The invention relates to an orthopaedic device for the orthotic or prosthetic provision of a patient witha knee joint (10), which has a proximal upper part (11) and a distal lower part (13) arranged pivotably thereon, an ankle joint (20), a pivoted foot part (23) which can be fastened distally to the ankle joint (20), anda shin part (14) arranged between the ankle joint (20) and the knee joint (10), wherein the upper part (11) of the knee joint (10) or a thigh part fastened thereto that can be attached to the patient's body is coupled with the foot part (23) by means of a force transfer device (3; 30, 31, 32, 35; 40, 41, 42), which causes a plantar flexion of the foot part (23) when a knee is flexed.

The dynamic accessory for protection, bracing, and stabilization of the tibial plateau, kneecap, and knee designed in the specified form, embodied by a single, open, continuous piece, including elastic microfiber fabric, neoprene, foam padding, and breathable and non-breathable fabric that surrounds the perimeter of the user's leg under the knee and in an enveloping maneuver surrounds the tibial plateau and knee, encircling it and closing onto itself and its ends, without covering the popliteal fossa. The stabilizers, specially designed to be situated inside the sectorized pocket that is designed in a concave and convex curved shape, used to promote the kinesthetic function. They also create an air chamber in order to avoid condensation from sweat and allow ventilation, as well as providing space to adapt to the users leg according to the activity carried out. Connected devices are added to implement the function of the accessory.

A knee brace includes a body, a flexible strap, and a handle. The body is configured to support and circumferentially extend around a knee of a subject. The flexible strap includes a body end and a handle end, and the flexible strap is secured to the body at the body end; and a handle secured with the handle end of the flexible strap. The handle may include a rigid member with a gripping feature. The knee brace, or components thereof, may be constructed of an elastic synthetic polymer, such as nylon.

A knee brace with an inflatable air bladder. In a post-surgical embodiment the brace includes a rigid shell that fits behind the knee. The rigid shell includes an inflatable air bladder on its posterior surface. A wrap is placed around the knee and the air bladder. When the air bladder is inflated, the knee is urged in the posterior directionthereby decreasing flexion. In a rehabilitative embodiment, a rigid shell is placed over the anterior portion of the knee. An air bladder is positioned between the rigid shell and the knee. The rigid shell is held in place using the securing straps of the rehabilitative brace. When the air bladder is inflated the knee is again urged in the posterior direction.
