Embodiment Construction

[0078] A. Environment and Background of the Examples

[0079] In order to further facilitate the understanding of the exemplary forms of orthotic devices and variants of the disclosed exemplary embodiments of garments and / or orthotics for treating complications of the hip, it is necessary to describe some terms.

[0080] The terms "rigidity", "flexibility", "compliance" and "elasticity" can distinguish the properties of the belt and the specific characteristic parts of the garment. The term "rigid" is intended to indicate that the elements of the device may not substantially buckle. In the context of the "rigid" feature, it is meant that it does not lose its overall shape when force is applied, and in fact it can break if buckled with sufficient force. The term "flexible" is intended to describe a feature that is capable of repeated bending, such that the feature can be bent into a retained shape, or that the feature no longer retains a general shape but continuously deforms wh...

Abstract

An orthopedic device (200) is provided for treating complications of the hip and has means for trochanter compression, pelvis support, lumbar compression, variously directed straps, and thigh support. The trochanter compression and an internal / external rotation strap (217) provide pain relief through compression and skin protection, unloading of joints through compression and sealing, and unloading by load transfer. Means (220) for adjustably dosing of straps enables pain management and ease of use.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an orthopedic device, in particular a garment and / or a hip orthosis for treating hip complications, and a method for using the orthopedic device. Background technique [0002] Conventional hip braces and braces are primarily aimed at the post-operative treatment of surgery-related arthritis such as arthroplasty and arthroscopic surgery. Few, if any, braces and supports are designed to treat the development of osteoarthritis (OA) or to alleviate symptoms associated with arthritis of the hip. [0003] Struts and supports can help weak muscles, such as the gluteus medius, which are thought to be involved in feeling pain. It is also believed that joint repositioning is beneficial for other indications, such as anterior ligament (ACL) injuries, and may provide improved knee control. A particular group of patients at risk includes female athletes who suffer pain from non-contact ACL injuries as a result of lan...
