Abstract
There is disclosed an adjustable lower body orthotic structure supporting belt to be fitted to a user's morphology and pelvic tilt. The belt comprises at least one medial segment having an associated pivoting attachment that includes a securing mechanism to secure a lower body orthotic structure to the lateral with a variable sagittal orientation, a posterior support segment and a two-part securing segment connected via a locking mechanism to secure the belt to the user.

A lower body orthotic structure supporting belt adjustable to be fitted to a user's morphology and pelvic tilt, the belt comprising:
- two medial segment (12) each having a first end and a second end, and configured to be located laterally in a sagittal plane and having an associated pivoting attachment (13, 23) to support a lower body orthotic structure with a variable sagittal orientation, wherein the pivoting attachment (13, 23) allows the lower body orthotic structure to maintain a vertical alignment while allowing the belt to adapt to the user's pelvic tilt;
- a posterior support segment (14), connecting to respective second ends of the two medial segments (12), wherein each part of the two-part securing segment (16) is connected to respective first ends of the two medial segments (12);
- and
- a frontal support system (15) connected via a locking mechanism (17);
- wherein the pivoting attachment (13, 23) includes a pivoting base (131, 231) and a securing mechanism (132, 232) positioned thereon, the pivoting base (131, 231) rotatably engaging a corresponding medial segment circular receptacle (1) provided on each medial segment (12).
A lower body orthotic structure supporting belt adjustable to be fitted to a user's morphology and pelvic tilt, the belt comprising:
- at least one medial segment (12) configured to be located laterally in a sagittal plane and having an associated pivoting attachment (13, 23) to support a lower body orthotic structure with a variable sagittal orientation;
- a posterior support segment (14);
- and
- a frontal support system (15) connected via a locking mechanism (17),
- wherein the pivoting attachment (13, 23) allows the lower body orthotic structure to maintain a vertical alignment while allowing the belt to adapt to the user's pelvic tilt, the pivoting attachment (13, 23) is removably connected to the associated medial segment (12).
A lower body orthotic structure supporting belt adjustable to be fitted to a user's morphology and pelvic tilt, the belt comprising:
- at least one medial segment (12) configured to be located laterally in a sagittal plane and having an associated pivoting attachment (13, 23) to support a lower body orthotic structure with a variable sagittal orientation;
- a posterior support segment (14);
- and
- a frontal support system (15) connected via a locking mechanism (17),
- wherein the pivoting attachment (13, 23) allows the lower body orthotic structure to maintain a vertical alignment while allowing the belt to adapt to the user's pelvic tilt, and the pivoting attachment (13, 23) is selected from a group consisting of a first part of a two-part side-release buckle (132) and a first part of a two-part magnetic clip (232).
A lower body orthotic structure supporting belt adjustable to be fitted to a user's morphology and pelvic tilt, the belt comprising:
- two medial segment (12) each having a first end and a second end, and configured to be located laterally in a sagittal plane and having an associated pivoting attachment (13, 23) to support a lower body orthotic structure with a variable sagittal orientation, wherein the pivoting attachment (13, 23) allows the lower body orthotic structure to maintain a vertical alignment while allowing the belt to adapt to the user's pelvic tilt;
- a posterior support segment (14), connecting to respective second ends of the two medial segments (12), wherein each part of the two-part securing segment (16) is connected to respective first ends of the two medial segments (12);
- and
- a frontal support system (15) connected via a locking mechanism (17);
- wherein each of the two medial segments (12) includes a pivoting element retainer (20), and is composed of a strap and a connector such that the strap passes over the pivoting attachment (13, 23) when secured to the connector.
