Abstract: A medical knee bandage having a sheathing body of material that is elastic in at least some sections and is open on opposing ends and forms a closed sheathing jacket that is under tangential elastic stress when applied around a human knee area. A removal aid which is designed as a separation that is closable, for example by a zipper, extends over some or all of the length of the sheathing body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining the stability of a knee joint. The device comprises includes a measuring sensor (14), which can be attached via a fastening device (16) to a lower leg (12) associated with the knee joint (11). The measuring sensor (14) is designed to measure an acceleration in at least one direction (z) during a movement of the lower leg (12). Furthermore, a processing device (18) is provided for processing measured values of the measuring sensor (14) in order to infer the stability of the knee joint (11) from the processed measured values.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for putting on hosiery, comprising a unit for mounting the hosiery which has two receiving parts which by way of guiding means can be spread in relation to each other between a resting position and at least one stretching position. In said device the positioning means form part of a drive unit embodied as an element which is separate from the mounting unit and said mounting unit can be temporarily and removably connected to the drive unit with a view to moving the receiving parts into the at least one stretching position. The invention also relates to the use of said device for putting on support hose.

Abstract: A back cushion with a form-stable support plate having a plurality of elastically deformable support tongues distributed over its surface. A manually adjustable support strip is located between the support tongues and the support plate. The support strip includes a polyhedral support body the circumference of which is formed by at least three outer surface pairs, each of which has two supporting surfaces located on opposite sides of the support body and are at least essentially parallel to one another. One supporting surface is supported at the support plate while the opposite supporting surface is supported at the support tongues respectively. The opposite supporting surfaces are each located at different distances from one another, and the support body is mounted to rotate around a lengthwise axis in such a manner that, depending on the effective position of the supporting surfaces, different distances of the support tongues with respect to the support plate are obtained.
