Biomechanical node for force guidance and load distribution in wearable belt systems

Abstract

Dorsal biomechanical node for a wearable biomechanical belt system, in particular a posture correction, shoulder guidance, retraction, orthosis or biomechanical assistance system, comprising a housing positionable between the shoulder blades of a wearer with at least two independent guidance paths for flexible traction elements, wherein within the housing a deflection and distribution of traction forces takes place between an upper force absorption area and a lower force delivery area, characterized in that the node is designed as an independent biomechanical force guidance, deflection and load distribution module and the guidance paths are mechanically decoupled from each other.
