The invention relates to an orthopaedic joint comprising an upper part and a lower part pivotably mounted thereon and a resistance device which is located between the upper part and the lower part and provides resistance against a pivoting movement about a pivot axis, and has a resistance adjusting device coupled to a control device which is coupled to at least one sensor such that the resistance can be adjusted by means of the control device on the basis of sensor data transmitted from the at least one sensor to the control device, a function is stored in the control device in which the joint is locked against pivoting in at least one direction in accordance with the sensor data, the function can be activated for locking and deactivated for unlocking on the basis of the sensor data.

An orthopaedic device with a shell mechanism which can be brought into a closed position in which it engages at least partially around a body part arranged in the shell mechanism, and into an open position, in which the body part can be brought into the shell mechanism, wherein the shell mechanism can be brought from the open position to the closed position by means of the body part being introduced into the shell mechanism. The device has at least one actuation element which is arranged and designed in such a way that it is actuated when the body part is introduced into the shell mechanism, and it brings the shell mechanism from the open position to the closed position, wherein the actuation element has a tensile force transmission element, in particular a band or a cloth.

Devices and processes used to treat ankle conditions. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a brace and the corresponding method of use to treat ankle conditions by stretching the Gastrocnemius muscle, soleus muscle, and plantaris muscle.

The present invention relates to a scoliosis brace worn on the body so as to enable the normal curvature of the spine to be restored, and a manufacturing method therefor. The scoliosis brace according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a support part worn so as to cover one shoulder or one side of the abdominal region of the body; and a pressure band coupled so as to connect one side and the other side of the support part, and covering one side or the other side of the abdominal region of the body or one side or the other side of the chest region of the body, with respect to the support part, so as to pressurize and support the same.

Apparatus and methods relate to a multi-modal rehabilitation device having a reconfigurably lockable, adjustable knee stabilizer and a removable foot plate provided with removable resistance elements. In an illustrative example, the resistance elements may be repositionable. The foot plate may be provided with rollers. The rollers may be configured for use in gliding exercises. The rollers may be configured for self-massage therapy. The rollers may be removable. The rollers may be disposed in a removable leg band which may be disposed around a leg of a user. In an illustrative example, the device further includes a graduated self-deflating thermal-compression device. Various embodiments may provide multiple therapy modalities in an efficient, economical, and user-friendly device.

In one embodiment, the orthotic device can include a powered hand portion, a switching element, and a controller. The wearer can interact with the switching element to generate input signals for adjusting an operation of the powered hand portion. The controller can receive the input signals and generate control signals to accordingly adjust the operation of the powered hand portion. In some embodiments, a powered hand portion can be comprised of a plurality of linkages and at least one powered actuator to assist with an opening and closing of the hand portion. The plurality of linkages can be operated by at least one electric motor with quick-connect elements to link onto fingers of a user. In some embodiments, an electrically-actuated clutch mechanism can be affixed to an upper arm section and a lower arm section of an orthotic device. The clutch mechanism can be configured into different positions.

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, serial monitor devices, fiducial tracking knee braces devices, and systems that facilitate generation of improved three-dimensional models from two-dimensional multi-planar images are disclosed. With this technology, correspondence of a patient's knee angle is substantially maintained across x-ray images to improve fiducial-marker-to-bone relationships within the images and facilitate improved scaling and registration of the images to generate a three-dimensional model of the knee. In particular, orientation sensor(s) attached to an improved knee brace device allows a user to substantially match the position of the knee across anterior/posterior and lateral x-ray images so that the images can be scaled and oriented more effectively, resulting in more accurate three-dimensional models and improved preoperative planning for patients.

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of medical exercise apparatus. A non-surgical reduction exercise therapy apparatus for rupture of anterior cruciate ligament or achilles tendon includes a thigh immobilization device, a calf immobilization device, an adjustable knee joint hinge and a foot immobilization device, a boot heel being provided under a rear of the boot sole. The present disclosure has a reasonable and compact structure and is convenient to use, and also has characteristics of low treatment cost, no surgery, whole process activities, pleasant dance, no influence on work and study during treatment, and fast healing of the anterior cruciate ligament or achilles tendon.

A shoulder brace device includes: a torso band, an arm band, and a brace mechanism, such that the brace mechanism is configured to connect to the torso band and the arm band; wherein the brace mechanism includes a ball joint assembly, such that the shoulder brace device enables free range of movement; wherein the brace mechanism can be locked in place or tightened for reduced range of movement.

An adjustable toe plate for an adjustable boot brace adapted to aid in stretching and supporting inflamed tissues and/or an inflamed plantar fascia within a person's foot while healing. The adjustable toe plate includes a toe plate adjustment mechanism to adjust the angle of the toe plate with respect to its foot portion, such that a person can adjust the position and angle of their toes during the healing process.
