Abstract

An orthopedic or prosthetic support device is arranged to conform and secure to a limb of a wearer. The device includes a resilient support member (16) adapted to extend about a limb, and a tensioning element (36) associated with the support member (16). An adjustment system (20) is connected to the support member (36) and engages the tensioning element (36). The adjustment system (20) is arranged to incrementally adjust and retain the tensioning element (36) relative to the support member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to support devices used in orthopedic and prosthetic systems. In particular, the orthopedic and prosthetic support devices described herein are configured for providing an enhanced level of support on the wearer's anatomy in place of or in addition to a dressing system. Background technique [0002] In many orthopedic and prosthetic systems, wraps are used to secure components to the anatomy of the wearer. Such wraps can prove bulky to the wearer to apply and can be difficult to adjust for some wearers. There is therefore a need for an orthopedic or prosthetic support device that is easy to put on and take off while still providing adequate support for the wearer's limb. Contents of the invention [0003] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an orthopedic device includes a generally rigid frame member, a resilient support member mounted on the frame member, and an elongate tensioning member as...
