Orthopedic system and method

An orthopedic brace for a limb, comprising:

• an upper portion including:
• an opening,
• a housing,
• a humeral bar connected to the housing, and
• a humeral cuff that is removable and laterally adjustable along the humeral bar;
• a lower portion including a proximal cuff and a distal cuff;
• and
• a multi-axial joint connecting the upper portion and the lower portion, the multi-axial joint having a stacked joint assembly being mechanical and configured to rotate about multiple axes, wherein the proximal cuff is disposed between the stacked joint assembly and the distal cuff, and the proximal cuff is connected to a slider of the stacked joint assembly with a rod, the stacked joint assembly including:
• a base coupled to the upper portion, the base including:
• a connector configured to couple the stacked joint assembly to the upper portion, the connector configured to be inserted into the opening of the upper portion and affixed to the upper portion,
• a base neck disposed adjacent to the connector, and
• a foundation;
• a shaft rotatably disposed through the base;
• a slider housing coupled to the base and disposed adjacent to the shaft, the slider housing including a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being concave, the slider housing including an elongated recess having a longitudinal axis parallel with the rod;
• a pulley disc disposed between the base and the slider housing and configured to be slidably disposed on the shaft, the pulley disc including:
• a first side,
• a second side,
• a perimeter channel disposed between the first side and the second side, and
• a disc thickness defined by a distance between the first side and the second side;
• the slider disposed adjacent to and nested within the elongated recess of the slider housing, the slider having a transverse oriented coupling to the rod such that the rod and slider are transversely offset, the slider including a slider body having a bottom surface, a top surface, a slider portion, and an arm portion for coupling with the lower portion;
• a slider cap disposed on to the slider, the slider cap including a cap body cooperating with the slider and a cap neck coordinating with the base;
• and
• a cover disposed on the slider cap,
• wherein the upper portion is aligned with a first axis, the base of the stacked joint assembly is aligned with a second axis, and the second axis is oriented substantially orthogonal with the first axis.
