A support device provides elevation and support for a patient's foot and limits lateral and medial rotation of the foot relative to the knee. This protects the knee from injury during healing. The device includes a generally flat main body, two spaced-apart lateral ridges, and a medial depression between the lateral ridges that provides a support surface on which the foot may be positioned. The lateral ridges can extend to a height above the support surface so that inner side surfaces of the lateral ridges are adjacent to a majority of a foot placed in the medial depression. The support surface can include a heel aperture extending through the main body to provide a continuous heel pocket allowing the heel to remain freely suspended when the foot is placed in the device. The device can additionally or alternatively include a slidable base allowing the device to better slide on a surface enabling the user to perform therapeutic exercises.

An orthosis is provided, including: a first supporting member, a second supporting member, a pivot mechanism and an attachment mechanism. The first supporting member is configured to be attached to an inner side of a foot and correspond to a big toe. The second supporting member is configured to be attached to the inner side of the foot and correspond to a metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of the big toe. The first supporting member and the second supporting member are rotatably connected with the pivot mechanism, and the pivot mechanism has a pivot axis configured to correspond to a distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint of the big toe. The attachment mechanism is configured to attach the first supporting member and the second supporting member to the foot.

Systems and methods for a muscle signal-driven cycling system for persons with disability for rehabilitation are provided. A system comprises integrating both motor power and muscle power to facilitate rehabilitation cycling-based exercises. By using the intensity of real-time muscle activity signals as inputs, a motor applies either assistive or resistive force to rotate a gear at different speeds to facilitate or impede the cycling motion, and the electrical pulses from an electrical stimulation device can be provided to stimulate target muscles to generate muscle contraction to support the continuous cycling movement.

A system for connecting parts of a device used to treat club foot. An elongated member is attachable one or more mounting plates. The angle between the elongated member and the mounting plates can be varied by changing a channel of the mounting plates.

The disclosure relates to an ankle orthosis for a bed. This ankle orthosis for a bed according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a first support portion having both ends connected to each other to cover a patient's lower body, a second support portion detachably connected to the first support portion, extending from the inside of the first support portion, and covering a patient's sole, and an elastic connection portion detachably connected to the first support portion and the second support portion and including an elastic material, wherein the second support portion is pulled toward a calf side in a state in which one end is arranged on an outer surface of the first support portion on the calf side, and the other end is arranged on a bottom surface of the second support portion.

In some implementations, a boot includes an outer shell having a first side and a second side located opposite the first side. The boot may include a retention strap. The boot may include a first one-way tensioning device coupled to the first side of the outer shell, where the first one-way tensioning device is configured to allow movement of the retention strap in a first direction and to restrain movement of the retention strap opposite the first direction. The boot may include a second one-way tensioning device coupled to the second side of the outer shell, where the second one-way tensioning device is configured to allow movement of the retention strap in a second direction and to restrain movement of the retention strap opposite the second direction.

An AFO for use in the Ponseti method which is bar-less and provides for readily interchangeable structures for providing differing articulation resistance. In one embodiment, the readily interchangeable structure is a flexible member achieving connection between and the majority of the separation between the shoe and the calf engaging structure. In another embodiment, an articulated arm with two rigid segments joined at a spring loaded hinge, with interchangeable spring canisters is used.

A foot is configured to map location and size of the ulcerations to treated at the bottom of the foot. First and intermediate insoles are made from including semi-compressed felt. A third sole serving as the base of the device is made from including, but not limited to EVA. A cavity with beveled edges in the first insole is configured to match the location and size of the ulcerations. The first insole, the intermediate insole and the foot with ulcerations are placed in a compression sock which is equipped with a zipper and is detachably attached on the top surface of the third sole. The cavity channels the drainage or extrude from the ulcerations to the intermediate in sole where it is absorbed. The zipper provides comfort to the patient to put on and take off the compression sock with any disturbance to the ulcerations .The compression sock enhances the blood flow in the foot which prompts efficient and quick healing of the ulcerations or chronic wounds.

A dual-adjustable orthotic device to treat clubfoot and methods for using same. The device comprises a pair of paddles, adapted to attach footwear, attached at opposing ends of an adjustable torque bar the device has independent configuration systems to adjust the angle at which the paddles are oriented to the bar, and to adjust the torque loading applied to the paddles. These systems facilitate the independent adjustment of the device settings without changing the tensioning mechanism, stocking multiple devices, or having to disassemble and reassemble the tensioning structures.
