Abstract
An orthosis device is disclosed, wherein the orthosis includes a frame comprising straps with fasteners, hinges and lateral elements connecting the straps to the hinges, each of which consists of a sleeve with an arcuate shape connected to one lateral element, and a hoop connected to the other lateral element, the hoop being placed in the sleeve with a clearance fit. The orthosis device may be provided with stops provided with grooves, and a rim provided with recesses, with a width corresponding to at least the width of the lateral elements with fit tolerance, and a protrusion situated in the central part of the stop.
Claims20
An orthotic device comprising:
- a frame further comprising:
- an upper-strap configured to be strapped on or around an upper-part of a limb of a subject;
- an upper-lateral-element connected to the upper-strap;
- a hoop-hinge-part connected to the upper-lateral-element;
- a lower-strap configured to be strapped on or around a lower-part of the limb of the subject;
- a lower-lateral-element connected to the lower-strap;
- a sleeve-hinge-part connected to the lower-lateral-element, wherein the hoop-hinge-part is disposed inside the sleeve-hinge-part thereby forming a hinge;
- and
- a stop-part disposed inside a hole formed at the center of the hinge, the stop-part being configured to restrict the rotation of the hoop-hinge-part in the sleeve-hinge-part;
- wherein the hoop-hinge-part is configured to rotate in the sleeve-hinge-part, in the absence of the stop-part or if the rotation is not restricted by the stop-part, thereby allowing the upper-lateral-element to rotate around the hinge with respect to the lower-lateral-element.
An orthotic system comprising:
- a frame further comprising:
- an upper-strap configured to be strapped on or around an upper-part of a limb of a subject;
- an upper-lateral-element connected to the upper-strap;
- a hoop-hinge-part connected to the upper-lateral-element;
- a lower-strap configured to be strapped on or around a lower-part of the limb of the subject;
- a lower-lateral-element connected to the lower-strap;
- a sleeve-hinge-part connected to the lower-lateral-element;
- wherein the hoop-hinge-part is disposed inside the sleeve-hinge-part thereby forming a hinge;
- a first-stop-part configured to be disposed inside a hole formed at the center of the hinge, the first-stop-part being configured to restrict the rotation of the hoop-hinge-part in the sleeve-hinge-part;
- and
- a second-stop-part configured to be disposed inside a hole formed at the center of the hinge, the second-stop-part being configured to restrict the rotation of the hoop-hinge-part in the sleeve-hinge-part;
- wherein the second-stop-part provides a different restriction to the rotation of the hoop-hinge-part in the sleeve-hinge-part than the restriction provided by the first-stop-part.
Orthosis comprising a frame comprising straps with fasteners and hinges, characterized in that the frame (1) comprises straps (4) with fasteners, hinges (6) and lateral elements (7) connecting the straps (4) to the hinges (6), each of which consists of a sleeve (6a) with an arcuate shape connected to one lateral element (7), and a hoop (6b) connected to the other lateral element (7), the hoop (6b) being placed in the sleeve (6a) with a clearance fit;
- moreover, the orthosis is provided with stops (3) provided with grooves (8), and a rim (9) provided with recesses (10, 11), with a width corresponding to at least the width of the lateral elements (7) with fit tolerance, and a protrusion (12) situated in the central part of the stop (3).
