Orthopedic device

An orthopedic device which comprises

• a joint with
• a first joint element, comprising a first joint arm, configured to engage a first region of a wearer's body, and mechanically connected to a first positive-locking element, and
• a second joint element, comprising a second joint arm, configured to engage a second region of the wearer's body, a force application lever with a second positive-locking element, and a mechanical energy store, which is arranged between the force application lever and the second joint arm,
• wherein:
• the first positive-locking element and the second positive locking element are aligned on a common axis, and are movable toward and away from one another, in an axial direction along the axis, for mutual engagement and disengagement, respectively,
• the first joint element and the second joint element are mutually configured to transfer to a charging and a discharging of the mechanical energy store a swivelling of the first joint arm relative to the second joint arm when the first positive-locking element and the second positive-locking element are in the mutual engagement;
• and
• a safety device for providing, in an engaging of the first positive-locking element to the second positive-locking element, a corrective rotating of the first positive-locking element or the second positive-locking element relative, or both, correcting initial misalignments respective to one another of the first positive-locking element and the second positive-locking element, for improving a security of a force exerted by the charged mechanical energy store being transmitted from the second positive-locking element to the first positive-locking element,
• wherein the first positive-locking element and/or the second positive-locking element comprises at least two partial positive-locking elements which are configured as movable independently of each other in the axial direction.
