Embodiment Construction

[0020] In the drawings, identical or mutually corresponding components are provided with the same reference numerals.

[0021] The drawing schematically shows an orthosis 2 which can be adapted in size and shape to a body part 3, for example a thigh, by means of a plate-like part.

[0022] The orthosis 2 has a plate-like carrier 4, here in the form of a thin aluminium sheet, on the side of which facing away from the body part is laminated a material or substance, for example carbon fibre or the like. For this purpose, a layer of fibrous material 5, eg carbon fibre, is applied to the plate 4 and impregnated with resin, eg epoxy resin. For this purpose, the plate 4 with the applied fibrous material 5 is first tightly wrapped with a hose or film 6 , the edge of which fits under the plate 4 and is connected to the plate 4 , for example by means of an adhesive 17 . bonding. The space 8 surrounded by the film 6 is then filled, for example by means of a syringe, with a casting resi...

Abstract

The invention relates to an orthesis (2) comprising at least one plate-shaped part which is adapted to a body part (3). A deformable plate-shaped support (4) is provided with a curable material (5, 9) and, after adapting the shape of the support (4) by direct deformation onto the body part (3), the curable material (5, 9) present on the support (4) is cured in the shape of the support. The invention allows adaptation of the orthesis to the body part (3) without production of a template.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing an orthosis having at least one plate-shaped part which is adapted to a body part. Background technique [0002] Orthotics are used to support or maintain parts of the body whose function has been affected by illness or accident. In this case, the aligner rests on the body part by means of at least one plate-shaped part. Especially when the orthosis is to be worn continuously or over a long period of time it is important that the plate-like part fits well with the body part. [0003] DE 19506912 C2 discloses a method for producing a knee orthosis, which consists of a thigh part and a lower leg part, which are connected to each other by means of joints and can be individually plastered. Mold making. Panels made of heat-deformable plastic for the thighs and calves are cut to the shape defined by the models made from plaster impressions and unfolded into the panel plane. The cut sheet is heated to a pred...
