Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 The front view shows a so-called KAFO (knee-ankle-foot orthosis) for resting on the leg. The orthosis is fastened to the leg via receiving devices 50 , 52 and 54 , optionally with additional straps (not shown). The thigh is received in thigh wrap 50 , the calf is received in calf wrap 52 and the foot rests on foot plate 54 . The means 50 , 52 , 54 for receiving the body part are fastened to a splint 60 which extends along the respective limb, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment on the outside with respect to the not-illustrated leg. The thigh splint 60 extends from the thigh sleeve 50 to the upper part 10 and is fixed there in a form-fitting manner by screws in a so-called splint frame. The upper part 10 thus forms the distal end part of the thigh splint 60 . The lower part 20 is fastened to the upper part 10 about the pivot axis 40 , so that the upper part 10 together with the lower part 20 forms an articulation 30 which is arranged at the level of the...

Abstract

The invention relates to an orthesis, which has an upper part (10) and a lower part (20), which are coupled to each other by means of a first joint device (30) in such a way that the upper part and the lower part can pivot about a pivot axis (40), wherein devices (50, 52, 54) for receiving a body part or a limb or for fastening the orthesis (1) to a body part or a limb are arranged on the upper part (10) and / or the lower part (20), and wherein an upper support element (110) is fastened to the upper part (10) on one side and a lower support element (120) is fastened to the lower part (20) on one side, which support elements are connected to each other by means of a second joint device (130) in such a way that said support elements can pivot about the pivot axis (40), characterized in that abearing plate (200) having at least one fastening device (160) for fastening the second joint device (130) is fastened to or formed on the upper part (10) and / or the lower part (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an orthosis with an upper part and a lower part, which are pivotably coupled to one another via a first joint arrangement about a pivot axis, wherein an arrangement is arranged on the upper part and / or the lower part Device for receiving a body part or limb or for fastening an orthosis on a body part or limb, the invention relates to a system consisting of an orthosis and a functional element and a method for adapting an orthosis to a patient . Background technique [0002] The orthosis rests on the limb and usually has a splint or a sleeve with means for fastening the respective splint or sleeve on the limb. The splints or sheaths are connected to one another by means of an articulation, so that an overlapping articulation of the orthosis on the limb is possible. The orthosis can be used to guide movements, limit the pivot angle about the joint axis, prevent pivot movements or support or fix the orientation of the limbs rela...
