ORTHOSES FOR LOWER LIMBS

Abstract

An orthosis (1) for at least one lower limb of a user, characterized in that it comprises: - a base (1a), configured to accommodate a seating platform (4a) on which said user sits, comprising a first internal structure (2a) and a first enveloping cover (3a), which at least partially covers said first internal structure (2a), - at least one longitudinal extension (1b), configured to support a lower limb of said user, comprising a second internal structure (2b) and a second enveloping cover (3b), which at least partially covers said second internal structure (2b), wherein the base (1a) and the longitudinal extension (1b) are joined by an articulated connection (8), comprising: a first pawl (8.1) comprising two first paddles (8.1.1), wherein the first pawl (8.1) is located to one side of the base (1a) and the longitudinal extension (1b), such that one first paddle (8.1.1) is a first pawl (8.1.1) is attached to the base (1a) and another first pawl (8.1.1) is attached to the longitudinal extension (1b), and a second pawl (8.2) comprising two second pawls (8.2.1), wherein the second pawl (8.2) is located on the opposite side of the base (1a) and the longitudinal extension (1b) from the first pawl (8.1), such that a second pawl (8.2.1) is attached to the base (1a) and another second pawl (8.2.1) is attached to the longitudinal extension (1b), wherein the first pawl (8.1) and the second pawl (8.2) are configured to allow relative and simultaneous rotation of the longitudinal extension (1b) with respect to the base (1a), forming an angle α, and to lock the acquired position, at a predetermined angle α, of said longitudinal extension (1b) with respect to said base (1a).
