A device for stabilizing movements of two parts of a human body region and/or of a sports appliance which are movable relative to each other is provided, the device comprising a receptacle, which is fixable on a first part of a human body region and/or of a sports appliance, wherein the receptacle is filled with a filling medium, and wherein the receptacle comprises a receptacle opening; an interaction element fixable on a second part of the same human body region and/or of the same sports appliance, which is at least partially accommodated displaceably in the receptacle and extends through the receptacle opening, wherein the part of the interaction element that is located in the receptacle is in contact with the filling medium.

An orthopedic device and method for using the same are provided for applying a dynamic load on a leg of a user. The orthopedic device has a rigid or semi-rigid frame including lower and upper frames, and a hinge assembly connecting the lower and upper frames. A dynamic loading component is used to urge the load on the user's leg on the basis of flexion of the hinge assembly on the basis of tension in an elongate element connecting the dynamic loading component and at least one of the lower and upper frames. A peak load is generated at a flexion angle between extension and flexion of the hinge assembly.

A flat foot orthosis has two bodies and a pelvis portion. Each one of the two bodies has a wearing space, a foot portion, an ankle portion, a shank portion, a knee portion, a thigh portion, a toe portion, a hallux valgus region, a substrate, a first elastomer, and a second elastomer. The substrate and the first elastomer are disposed adjacent to each other, and surround the wearing space. The substrate extends from the toe portion to the thigh portion. The first elastomer spirally extends from an instep of the foot portion to the thigh portion through the rest. The two first elastomers surround and fetter where the wearer's pelvis and the wearer's waist meet. The second elastomer extends from the hallux sheath, is connected to the first elastomer, and wraps over the hallux valgus region.

An orthopedic brace is provided that includes one or more pad plates formed of a light-curable material and a hinge comprising one or more hinge framework elements connected to the one or more pad plates. The pad plates may include an elastomeric shell to contain the light-curable material. A rigid attachment member may be coupled to the elastomeric shell to couple to the hinge framework element.

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.

A hinge includes an upper hinge component and a lower hinge component. A cover plate is pivotally connected at first location point to the upper hinge component and at a second location point to the lower hinge component. First and second plates are pivotally connected at a third location point to the upper hinge component and at a fourth location point to the lower hinge component. The first plate is positioned between the cover plate and the upper and lower hinge components. The upper and lower hinge components are positioned between the first and second plates. The cover plate is mounted on an outer side of the hinge and the connection of the cover plate at the first location point rotates around the third location point and the connection of the cover plate at the second location point rotates around the fourth location point.

The invention relates to a dynamic correction splint (1) with two splint parts (5, 6) connected to each other via a joint (2). Spring bases (25, 26) of a spring device (27) are each coupled to a splint part (5, 6) in such a way that pivoting the splint parts (5, 6) leads to an altered biasing of the spring device (27). The spring device (27) exerts a correction moment onto the splint parts (5, 6) acting in the direction of a correction position of the splint parts (5, 6). The spring device (27) is configured and coupled to the splint parts (5, 6) in such a way that the absolute value of the correction moment increases as the correction position of the splint parts (5, 6) is approached. It is possible that a switching mechanism (40) is present. The switching mechanism (40) is actuated in a motion-controlled way by the pivoting of the splint parts (5, 6) and at its actuation changes the coupling of the splint parts (5, 6) with the spring device (27).

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.

The present invention relates to a wearable assistive device.

A brace for a person's hand has a cradle shaped to extend over the side of the hand in the area between a person's wrist crease and pinky-finger. The cradle may include two opposing curved sides, each side being joined to the other along a longitudinal edge. Opposite the longitudinal edge, each side has a distal edge. The distal edges may be spaced apart from each other by a distance that is approximately the thickness of a person's hand in the area extending from the person's wrist crease to the interstice between the pinky-finger and ring-finger. The cradle is shaped to extend over a side of the wearer's hand between a person's wrist crease and pinky-finger.
