Orthotic appliance
Provided is an device for stabilizing the center of gravity and/or correcting distortion of the body simply through wearing of the appliance on a toe and conducting normal activities. The following invention is provided by the present invention. A cylindrical correction device that corrects distortion of the body, wherein: the correction device has inward-facing triangular-prism-shaped protrusions on the inner circumference; the triangles are inclined in one direction with respect to the circumference; and the correction device comprises a cylindrical elastic material having a diameter of 7-20 mm, a width of 5-10 mm, a thickness of 1-3 mm, and a hardness of 4-6.
Ankle brace
An ankle brace with a base having an inelastic body portion extending from an ankle opening to a forefoot opening, with a continuous elastic band sewn to the forefoot opening, and a floating tongue bearing a band loop. The floating tongue is not sewn to the inelastic body portion of the base, instead the floating tongue is sewn only to the elastic band at a single point underneath the band loop.
BANDAGE
A bandage having at least two textile segments which can be connected to each other, each textile segment comprising at least one loop made of a textile material and being arrangeable such that at least one connecting bar can be pushed through at least one loop of the one textile segment and through at least one loop (of the other textile segment.
Contact Point Reduction Garment
The present disclosure provides a wearable garment comprising (a) a sheath having a first end and a second, wherein the sheath defines a cavity in a wearable position, wherein the sheath has a first opening at the first end, and wherein the sheath comprises a first material, and (b) one or more relief zones coupled to the sheath, wherein the relief zones comprise a second material, wherein a pressure distribution of the second material is greater than a pressure distribution of the first material.
ORTHOSIS FOR A LOWER EXTREMITY OF A WEARER
An orthosis (1) for a lower extremity of a wearer, in particular for a foot and a lower leg of a wearer, preferably for wearers with diabetic foot syndrome or a neuropathic osteoarthropathy relating to the foot, comprising: a first orthosis part (2) which is to be arranged or which can be arranged on a lower leg of a wearer, a second orthosis part (3) which is to be arranged or which can be arranged on a foot of a wearer, and a third orthosis part (4) which connects the first and second orthosis part to one another, wherein
at least one of the orthosis parts (2-4) has a geometric-constructive design, at least in portions, possibly completely, which is individually configured on the basis of data describing a foot and/or a lower leg of a wearer.
AISLANTE DE PIE DIABETICO ULCERADO
The Aislante de Pie Diabéico Ulcerado (APDU) is made up of a frame (2) that covers from the distal portion of the thigh of the affected extremity to the soles of the feet and has spacer rings inside (33-36) of structures made of dry ice (carbon dioxide in a solid state, dry ice), memory foam, among others, atraumatic and non-allergenic when in contact with the user's skin, the frame (2) being divisible into at least two shells anterior casing (4) and posterior casing (3) that are fixed together by means of a series of hooks for closing the casing (20-24), and the frame (2) having expandable upper and lower support bands (5.29) of rubber that surround the extremity of the user; covered by a porous mesh (1) that simultaneously allows,
Ankle/foot orthosis
An ankle/foot orthosis with a foot part, which has a sole for receiving a foot, and with a shin part which, when fitted in place, bears on the frontal aspect of a shin and is connected to the foot part via a medially extending spring, wherein the spring, behind an ankle area, forms a hinge area that allows a movement of the shin part relative to the foot part in the anterior-posterior direction.
Load bearing assistance apparatus for lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic devices
A load bearing assistance apparatus for transferring load from a lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device to the ground. The load bearing assistance apparatus includes a lateral and a medial spring-loaded members and a linking mechanism for connecting the load bearing assistance apparatus to the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device. The linking mechanism also connects the lateral and medial spring-loaded members in a spaced apart configuration so as to position them adjacent the lateral and medial portions, respectively, of the foot of the user of the lower extremity orthotic or prosthetic device and such that a portion of the lateral and medial spring-loaded members enters in contact with the ground during locomotion.
System and methods for adjusting variable geometry, height, weight distribution dynamics in orthotic devices and equipment
An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.
HEALTH BRACE
The present invention is brace including a main body and a strap attached to the main body for adjusting the main body around a body part. The main body and the strap are a unitary body. The brace includes a first zone having a first specific elongation and a second zone having a second specific elongation.
