Problems solved by technology

People wearing orthotics experience constant pressure, which has the disadvantage of preventing adequate proprioceptive feedback for limited stretching motion
[0007] In known orthoses with curved rigid elements and fixed movement limitations, the latter has the disadvantage of abrupt onset, which leads to non-physiological movement patterns

Embodiment Construction

[0050] figure 1 , image 3 , Figure 4 with Figure 5 The elbow orthosis according to the invention shown in is arranged on a stocking-like braid 31 and has a lower cuff 45 connected by means of a flexible hinge joint 44 to an abutment 42 above the joint. The cuff 45 is shell-shaped and engages around the forearm (at least around approximately three quarters of its entire circumference). In one embodiment, the lower ferrule 45 has a non-deformable portion 41 and a flexible portion 46 . The flexible portion 46 supports or forms a pressure activation portion 49 . The flexible portion 46 is preferably hingedly connected to the non-deformable portion 41 of the ferrule 45 via a channel or film hinge 48 . Alternatively, the flexible portion 46 and the non-deformable portion 41 are seamlessly formed in one piece without the recess 48 . In this alternative embodiment, the flexibility is achieved by reducing the material thickness or by changing the material composition in the re...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of orthoses and medical aids that are applied to the human or animal body in order to perform a supporting or movement-guiding function. The invention specifically makes available an orthosis for damping or limiting the flexion or extension movement of a limb joint, such as the elbow joint, knee joint, etc., and the prophylactic and therapeutic use of said orthosis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of orthoses and medical aids applied to the human or animal body to perform support or motion guiding functions. In particular, the invention enables orthoses that dampen or limit flexion or extension movements of limb joints such as elbow joints, knee joints, etc., and prophylactic and therapeutic uses of said orthoses. Background technique [0002] Orthoses for supporting joints and for controlling joint movement (that is, for controlling kinematics and movement) are well known. Firstly, in order to avoid hyperextension of the joints and the associated disadvantageous hyperextension of the joint organs, especially the ligaments, the purpose of these orthoses is essentially to limit the range of motion of the flexion or extension movements performed at the joints. This is especially advantageous as part of measures to immobilize the joint in the postoperative state, but also in prophylaxis against ...
