This invention discloses an
external fixation orthotic mechanism with virtual center motion characteristics, consisting of a moving platform, a stationary platform, three motion chains, and orthotic components. The three motion chains are distributed at 120° intervals along the circumference of the stationary platform, increasing the stability of the mechanism. The motion chains connect the moving platform and the stationary platform by threaded connection. By tightening the locking nut, the chains can be fixed to the stationary and moving platforms, making installation convenient, flexible, stable, and reliable. During orthotic treatment, the moving platform can drive the fixed component to rotate around the X and Y axes of the virtual coordinate
system and move along the Z axis, increasing the orthotic flexibility and range, and ensuring that the axis of the orthotic component will not shift during the orthotic process, preventing misalignment. Based on the
modular design concept, the
external fixation orthotic mechanism of this invention can be used in series with some orthotic devices in clinical practice to achieve a wider range of orthotic functions and better orthotic effects.
