The invention relates to a closure for an orthosis, in particular a quick closure for an orthosis, having an attachment part (1) and a retaining portion (14), wherein the attachment part (1) is detachably fastened to the retaining portion (14). The attachment part (1) has at least two tuck-in flaps (3, 3), which are connected to each other at one first end on a base (2) of the attachment part (1) and delimit a receptacle region (5) of the attachment part (1) at two opposite sides. The retaining portion (14) is designed such that, when the attachment part (1) is fixed thereto, it is held in the receptacle region (5) between the two tuck-in flaps (3, 3′). The retaining portion (14) is part of a frame or a framework (26) or a rail or another part of an orthosis and has at least one recess (15). One of the tuck-in flaps (3, 3′) has at least one latching element (6) which engages in the recess (15) forming a indentation when the attachment part (1) is slid onto the retaining portion (14).

A garment for providing orthopedic support or therapy to a human body may include a tubular flexible element and a tension strap. The tubular flexible element may be disposed around at least some portion of a human body and include flexible and a touch fastener portions. The flexible portion may be at an exterior of the tubular flexible element and cover a first portion of the body. The touch fastener portion may be at the exterior of the tubular flexible element and cover a second portion of the body. The tension strap may include first and second ends, where the first end includes a first touch fastener to be coupled with the touch fastener portion at a first location, and the second end includes a second touch fastener to be coupled with the touch fastener portion at a second location, thereby applying tension between the first and second locations.

The disclosure relates to an orthosis comprising a tubular sleeve having an inlet opening and an outlet opening or sock. The tubular sleeve is preferably formed of a stretchable, textile-based material such that the tubular sleeve as such is radially collapsible when being in a non-worn condition and is circumferentially stretchable to adapt to a shape of a limb of a user when being worn thereon. The orthosis further comprises a circumferentially expandable reinforcement member arranged at the inlet opening and circumscribing at least approximately 135° of the inlet opening. The reinforcement member is resilient and provides a radially outwardly directed force onto the tubular sleeve and thereby retains the inlet opening in an open shape facilitating insertion of the limb through the inlet opening into the orthosis. Also described are kit of parts and the use of the orthosis.

An ankle-foot orthosis having an articulated outer boot adapted to provide support and limit plantar-flexion, and a cooperating inner boot adapted to facilitate transition from mid-stance phase to terminal contact phase of the gait cycle. The ankle-foot orthosis of the present invention can provide lower-limb alignment while delivering power assistance to achieve normal swing phase.

A device for articular rehabilitation comprising a first element provided with bars for fastening to the proximal portion of a limb and a second element provided with bars for fastening to the distal portion of a limb, said first element comprising a first and a second spherical shell portion opposite to each other, and said second element comprising a first and a second spherical shell portion opposite to each other, said spherical shell portions being configured to fasten said first and second element by means of spherical hinge coupling and being configured so that the space comprised inside said spherical shell portions, when coupled, is such that the joint object of the rehabilitation is allowed to be received therein.

A connection device for connecting a first component to a second component of an orthopedic device. The connection device includes a first swivel element for arranging on the first component and a second swivel element for arranging on the second component. The first adjustment element is arranged on the first swivel element the adjustment element having a first contact surface. The second swivel element has a second contact surface, wherein the first swivel element is arranged on the second swivel element such that it can be swivelled about a swivel axis, and the first adjustment element is arranged and designed in such a way that the first contact surface lies flat on the second contact surface.

An orthopedic device includes a frame, a strap system including first and second straps connecting to the frame, and an adjustment mechanism couples to the first and second straps and simultaneously regulates tension in the first and second straps by moving the first and second straps relative to the frame. The strap system includes a length adjustment system for modifying the length of the strap.

An orthosis or exoskeleton system can be mounted proximate a user's joint. The system includes a brace, which includes a first body mounting portion to be mounted to one side of the user's joint and a second body mounting portion to be mounted to an opposite side of the user's joint. The first and second mounting portions are moveably coupled together. A range of motion (ROM) limitation mechanism presents a number of selectable ROM limits between the first and second body mounting portions. One or more sensors detect a user's kinematics and/or kinetics. The system is configurable during use based on the user's kinematics and/or kinetics, including by setting or updating the ROM limitation mechanism from a present ROM limit setting to a new ROM limit setting.

An orthopedic device has a rigid or semi-rigid frame element defining opposed first and second sides, and is adapted to extend about at least a portion of a limb. The device includes straps formed from a variety of segments having stretchable and substantially inelastic segments. The straps adjustably secure to the frame element, and stretch relative thereto. The device also includes a central strap pad arranged to connect two straps together such that a first strap of the two straps is movable relative to a second strap, and the first and second straps are maintained diagonal relative to one another.

It is the object of the invention to provide a knee bracing system that bolsters the body's natural ligaments to reduce the knees proneness to injury or re-injury. The invention is a cable system that acts much like the body's natural way that resists the forces that cause excessive joint movement and injury to the ACL and or MCL. As the leg travels through the range of motion the cables provide external hyper extension, bending, and rotation support preventing the tibia bone from moving forward (hyper extending) or twisting (lateral rotation) and or laterally bending with respect to the femur.
