An actuating assembly including a first actuating device, a second actuating device, and an adjustment mechanism. The first actuating device is configured to provide an output torque to a first portion of a user, and the second actuating device is configured to provide an output torque to a second portion of the user. The adjustment mechanism is connected to the first and second actuating devices. The adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust a distance between the first and second actuating devices.

A powered orthotic device includes a brace, a finger engagement member, a thumb engagement member, and a hand actuator. The powered orthotic device includes a locking mechanism affixed to the brace, and a finger carrier assembly with a finger carrier to engage the fingers of the wearer, as well as an affixment member configured to be removably attached to the locking mechanism. The wearer dons the orthotic device, without assistance from another, by placing the set of fingers into the finger carrier and using a free hand of the wearer to affix the affixment member to the locking mechanism.

Articulated rod of an orthopaedic device including a pair of arms in mutual flexion-extension rotation, two cover plates, a polycentric joint two rotation pins engaged in through holes of at least one cover plate and in through holes of the pair of arms, each arm bears a slot, a pair of cams rotatably engaged in through openings of the at least one cover plate, each cam bears a through hole engaged by a rotation pin, including at least one axial extension adapted to be engaged in the slot, a plurality of coupling teeth and an indication element, at least one locking element including a plurality of teeth adapted to be engaged with the plurality of coupling teeth.

Articulated rod of an orthopedic device including a pair of arms, two cover plates, a polycentric joint that articulates the pair of arms in flexion-extension rotation, at least one insert that constrains a rotation width, at least one stop pin for locking the at least one insert, a pair of half covers slidably associated through the guide means for passing from an open position to a closed position where at least one half cover keeps the stop pin in position by interference.

A connector for a strap includes a buckle assembly having a base part, and a strap mount flexibly depending from the buckle assembly. The strap mount is integrally connected to the base part such that the base part is rigid when the strap mount bends relative thereto.

An adjusting mechanism has a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis, a first assembling component, a second assembling component, a worm assembly, a ratchet component, and a knob. The longitudinal axis and the lateral axis are perpendicular to each other. The second assembling component is pivotally mounted to the first assembling component and is able to swing along the longitudinal axis. The worm assembly is mounted to the first assembling component, is able to rotate along the lateral axis, and has a thread twisting along the lateral axis. The ratchet component is mounted to the first assembling component, is able to rotate along the longitudinal axis, is connected to the second assembling component, and has a toothed portion with multiple engaging teeth parallel with the longitudinal axis engaging with the thread of the worm assembly. The knob is mounted to the worm assembly and is rotatable with the worm assembly.

A leg unit for a wearable sitting posture assisting device, comprises an upper support designed to receive a weight force of a person, a lower support designed to transmit the person's weight force to a ground, a joint connecting the at least two supports to each other, and a blocking means implementing a blocked state to block the joint at at least one sitting angle corresponding to an at least partly sitting posture, the leg unit comprising a guiding means for the blocking means, which guiding means is designed to allow a rotation of the joint while the blocking means is in the blocked state, to a wearable sitting posture assisting device, comprising two of these leg units, and to a method to block such a wearable sitting posture assisting device in an at least partly sitting posture.

An orthopedic device comprising a first shell, a second shell, and a hinge connecting to the first and second shells. A first strap having a first end slidably connects to the first shell and a second end removably anchors to the second shell. An overlay extends over a portion of the first shell and forms a clearance with the first shell into which the first end of the first strap extends. Portions of the overlay secure to the first shell outside of the clearance.

A connector for a strap includes a buckle assembly having a base part, and a strap mount flexibly depending from the buckle assembly. The strap mount is integrally connected to the base part such that the base part is rigid when the strap mount bends relative thereto.

An exoskeleton device includes a first brace coupled to a first portion of a wearer of the exoskeleton device and a second brace coupled to a second portion of the wearer. A first joint connects the first and second braces and allows relative movement between the first and second braces. A first brake is controllable between an unactuated state and a plurality of actuated states, and the first brake impedes relative movement between the first and second braces at the first joint while the first brake is in one of the plurality of actuated states. A manual actuator is selectively used by the wearer during relative movement between the first and second braces. Use of the actuator causes the first brake to enter one of the plurality of actuated states such that relative movement between the first and second braces is impeded at the first joint.
