  • Patent number: 6656144
    Abstract: An articulating joint for an orthopedic brace wherein a moveable plate is rotatably connected with respect to a fixed plate. The moveable plate includes a plurality of adjustment apertures positioned around a first axis of rotation wherein one or more coarse limit screws are positioned within the adjustment apertures to limit the range of motion between the moveable plate and the fixed plate within a predetermined arc of rotation. Fine adjustment means are preferably positioned with respect to the fixed plate and obstruct a range of motion of the coarse limit screws. In addition, interchangeable struts are attached to the moveable plate and/or the fixed plate to facilitate connection to the orthopedic brace and custom sizing wherein at least one of the struts is moveable around a second axis of rotation.
