Orthopedic device

An orthopedic device for supporting a lower back of a user, the device comprising:

• a energy store;
• a pelvic element;
• an upper body element with a first force transmission element;
• and
• an upper leg element with a second force transmission element;
• wherein:
• the upper leg element is arranged on the pelvic element such that the upper leg element is configured to be swiveled about a first swivel axis,
• the upper body element is movably arranged relative to the pelvic element,
• the first force transmission element is configured to be engaged and disengaged with the second force transmission element by moving the upper body element relative to the pelvic element, the first force transmission element comprising a gearwheel that is eccentrically arranged on the pelvic element such that the first force transmission element is configured to be swiveled about a second swivel axis, and
• the energy store is configured to be discharged by swiveling the upper leg element relative to the upper body element when the first force transmission element is engaged with the second force transmission element, wherein the device is configured to be brought into an active state, in which the first force transmission element is configured to be engaged and disengaged with the second force transmission element by moving the upper body element relative to the pelvic element, and into a passive state.

An orthopedic device to support a lower back of a user, the device comprising:

• a energy store;
• a pelvic element configured to contact a pelvis of the user;
• an upper body element with a first force transmission element, the upper body element configured to be mounted to an upper body of the user, wherein the first force transmission element comprises a gearwheel that is eccentrically arranged on the pelvic element such that the gearwheel is moved about a second swivel axis;
• an upper leg element with a second force transmission element, the upper leg element configured to be mounted to an upper leg of the user;
• wherein the upper leg element is arranged on the pelvic element such that the upper leg element is movable about a first axis, the upper body element is adjustable relative to the pelvic element to engage and disengage the first force transmission element with the second force transmission element, and the energy store is discharged by moving the upper leg element relative to the upper body element when the first force transmission element is engaged with the second force transmission element, wherein the device is configured to be brought into an active state, in which the first force transmission element is configured to be engaged and disengaged with the second force transmission element by moving the upper body element relative to the pelvic element, and into a passive state.
