Abstract: An orthopedic device (1) for limiting the movement of a joint arranged between a first and a second region of a body is provided. The device includes at least one receptacle (2) that can be fixed on the first region of the body, and an extension element (3) that can be fixed on the second region of the body and is movable relative to the receptacle (2), wherein a volume filled with a dilatant fluid (4) is provided between the receptacle (2) and the extension element (3).
Abstract: A device includes a receptacle body, wherein the receptacle body is filled with a dilatant fluid and the receptacle body extends in an elongated shape from a first end towards a second end, and a tension body for initiating an external force into the device, wherein a compression body, wherein the compression body is arranged in the receptacle body in a relatively movable manner and is connected to the tension body, wherein the compression body divides an interior space of the receptacle body into a first chamber and a second chamber, wherein between the receptacle body and the compression body a passage is provided, wherein the passage connects the first chamber with the second chamber fluid-technically.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (10) for stabilizing body joints, muscles and tendons comprising: a receptacle body (20), wherein the receptacle body (20) is filled with a dilatant fluid (90) and the receptacle body (20) extends in an elongated shape from a first end (21) towards a second end (22), and a tension body (40) for initiating an external force into the device, wherein a compression body (30), wherein the compression body (30) is arranged in the receptacle body (20) in a relatively movable manner and is connected to the tension body (40), wherein the compression body (30) divides an interior space of the receptacle body (20) into a first chamber (23) and a second chamber (24), wherein between the receptacle body (20) and the compression body (30) a passage is provided, wherein the passage connects the first chamber (23) with the second chamber (24) fluid-technically.
