17 results about "Joint stability" patented technology

Joint stability refers to the resistance offered by various musculoskeletal tissues that surround a skeletal joint. Several subsystems ensure the stability of a joint. These are the passive, active and neural subsystems. It is believed that one or more of the subsystems must have failed if joint instability occurs, usually a torn or overstretched ligament. Instability of joints can cause unhealthy ranges of movement in your joints which can result in the joints fracturing.

Knee implant with braking and biasing mechanisms for controlled joint stability

PCT designated stageWO2026044338A1Joint implantsKnee jointsFemoral boneKnee Joint
A knee implant provides enhanced joint stability and controlled movement. The implant comprises a femoral component, a tibial component, and a braking mechanism operative therebetween. The braking mechanism includes a barrel, a shaft, and clutch plates alternately keying the barrel and shaft in a non-rotatable manner. A plunger, displaced under compression force between the components, compresses the clutch plates to create frictional engagement, restricting or locking relative movement under weight-bearing conditions. This allows stability during standing and controlled mobility when compression is reduced. Optionally, a magnetic biasing mechanism applies variable torque between the components, adapting joint behaviour to different loading conditions. The combined braking and biasing mechanisms provide reliable support and improved control for patients requiring joint stability during functional activities.

An ankle exoskeleton that assists and enhances joint stability

ActiveCN117679291BFoot solesPhysical therapy
This invention provides an ankle exoskeleton that assists and enhances joint stability. A wearable component is worn on the wearer's lower leg, and a wearable support is worn on the sole of the wearer's foot. A sliding mechanism and a telescopic component provide assistance and a wrapping force to the ankle joint, with the wrapping force acting as a stabilizing force. The exoskeleton includes: a wearable component, a wearable support, a sliding mechanism, a telescopic component, and a transmission cable. The sliding mechanism is connected to the rear of the wearable support. The transmission cable passes through the telescopic component, around the sliding mechanism, and then exits from the telescopic component. When the wearable component and wearable support are worn around the wearer's ankle joint, the other end of the transmission cable receives a driving force, which is transmitted to the bottom of the ankle joint, providing assistance. This also causes the second and fourth telescopic ends to move away from each other, causing the wearable component to contract and provide a wrapping force to the ankle joint. This invention can provide stable push-off assistance to the ankle joint and increase ankle joint stability during push-off.
