Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional objects by means of an additive manufacturing process in which at least one manufacturing material is fed in a free-flowing state from at least one feed-in opening of at least one feed-in needle into a supporting material and then cured, the manufacturing material being introduced in multiple layers one after the other, wherein the feed-in needle comprises at least one tool by which at least one previous layer is machined when a current layer of the manufacturing material is introduced.

Abstract: A prosthesis system with a liner and a prosthesis socket, wherein the liner includes a closed distal end, an open proximal end, a lateral surface, which extends from the distal end to the proximal end, and a first connection device. The prosthesis socket includes a second connection device, which is configured to interact with the first connection device. The first connection device is arranged on the lateral surface, and the first connection device and the second connection device are configured to establish a mechanical locking and an electrical contact between the liner and the prosthesis socket.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for evaluating usage data of at least one orthopaedic device which is equipped with sensors for detecting properties, states, or changes in properties or states, wherein the sensors are connected to a transmitter directly or via a storage device and the transmitter transmits the sensor data provided by the sensors to an evaluation unit in a computer network in which the sensor data is processed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic sheet material having a front side, a rear side opposite the front side and at least one functional element, which is arranged on the front side and is connected to the sheet material. A limiting element for limiting the elasticity of the sheet material is arranged on the rear side of the sheet material opposite the functional element and/or on the front side underneath the functional element or within the sheet material underneath the functional element.

Abstract: An orthopedic device with a base body for applying to a body part of a wearer, and at least one electrode for transcutaneously transmitting electrical signals. The at least one electrode features an electrically conductive textile and an electrically conductive polymer, wherein the electrically conductive textile is partially penetrated by the electrically inductive polymer and arranged in such a way that it comes into contact with the body part when the base body is applied.

Abstract: A prosthesis cosmetic element for a prosthesis comprising a prosthesis joint which has an upper part and a lower part that is mounted thereon in a pivotal manner about a pivot axis, the prosthesis cosmetic element has a first frame part, which has at least one first securing device for fixing on the lower part, and a second frame part with at least one second securing device for securing on the upper part. The frame parts are mounted in a pivotal manner relative to each other, and the prosthesis joint is equipped with a rotational element on which an actuating element is arranged. The actuating element is accessible from the outside by a frame part or through a frame part.

Abstract: A method for producing an orthopedic device, wherein the method comprises: providing a main body of the orthopedic device that comprises at least one volume that can be filled with a fluid, at least one supply line to this volume, and a flexible and/or elastic material in at least some sections of the main body in which there is no volume that can be filled with a fluid, arranging the main body on a body part of a patient, at least partially filling the volume with a curable fluid, and curing the curable fluid.

Abstract: A liner and a method for producing a liner for a lower arm prosthesis, wherein the liner comprises a base body with a closed distal end and an open proximal end, and the method comprises the production of the base body by moulding a preform, in particular using a casting or dipping method, wherein in at least one section of the preform a first diameter of the blank is greater than a second diameter in a second direction, which extends orthogonally to the first direction.

Abstract: A technical orthopedic device for supporting an extremity of a wearer. The technical orthopedic device includes at least one support element, on which the extremity rests when the technical orthopedic device is applied. The support element features a support structure and a contact element. The contact element includes or is made of a flat, flexible, preferably elastic material. The contact element is fixed to the support structure in such a way that a gap is created between the contact element and the support structure.
