Publication number: 20220031490Abstract: An orthotic support comprises a shoulder section for encapsulating a first shoulder of a wearer, a glove section for conforming to at least a portion of the wearer's hand, and a sleeve section for conforming to the wearer's arm, the sleeve section connecting the shoulder section to the glove section. A resilient reinforcement extends from the glove section to the shoulder section, and at least a portion of the reinforcement extends in a spiral around the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to apply a rotational force to the wearer's arm, when worn, to urge a portion of the wearer's arm to rotate in a predetermined direction. The orthotic support may be usable to treat or prevent shoulder dislocation or subluxation, arm over-pronation or over-supination, wrist flexion or elbow flexion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: DM Orthotics LimitedInventor: Martin Matthews

Patent number: 11109638Abstract: A method of making an orthotic is disclosed. The method includes the steps of taking measurements relating to a foot and then creating a digital representation of an orthotic on a display device based on said measurements. This digital representation of the orthotic having a heel portion for supporting a heel of a person and a distal portion located in front of the heel portion which can be divided into first and second distal portions. The thickness of the digital representation of the first and second distal portions is then varied such that one of the distal portions is thicker than the other. Finally, an additive manufacturing technique, using a substantially uniform material or materials, is used to create a physical version of the digital representation of the orthotic.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: PEACOCKS ORTHOTICS LIMITEDInventors: Iain Charlesworth, Chris Pluse, David Eardley, Leigh Wallace, Jari Pallari

Patent number: 9452074Abstract: An orthotic device includes a resilient portion configured to apply a force in one or more predetermined directions to assist or restrict movement of a part of a wearer's body, and a rigid portion configured to restrict movement of the body part. The rigid portion is removably-couplable to the resilient portion so that it can be removed from, and coupled to, the resilient portion while the device is being worn.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: DM ORTHOTICS LIMITEDInventors: James Heffern Wynne, Nate Rand Smiley, Anna Scott

Patent number: 8752216Abstract: A compression garment, for example a pair of compression shorts (10, 210, 310), has a trunk section (20), a left leg section (30) and a right leg section (40) constructed from a resilient material. The trunk section (20) is reinforced such that a wearer's pelvic region is subjected to a first compressive force acting diagonally across a front portion of the trunk section from left to right and a second compressive force acting diagonally from right to left. The range of motion at the wearer's hips is preferably not restricted by the reinforcement.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2010Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: DM Orthotics LimitedInventors: Leanne Sawle, Elaine Winstanley, Martin Matthews

Publication number: 20120184887Abstract: An orthotic device comprises a first, resilient, portion configured to apply a force in one or more predetermined directions to assist or restrict movement of at least one part or a wearer's body, and a second, rigid, portion configured to restrict movement of at least one part of the wearer's body. The second portion is removably-couplable to the first portion such that it can be removed from, and coupled to, the first portion while the device is being worn.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2011Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: DM Orthotics LimitedInventors: James Heffern WYNNE, Nate Reed SMILEY, Anna SCOTT

Publication number: 20040186682Abstract: The disclosed device features is a contacting three dimensional sole measuring device to produce accurate three dimensional renditions of the bottom of a human foot placed thereon. The device features one or a plurality of sensors groups communicating with the top surface of a case. Each sensor group is dimensioned to accommodate the area of a footprint of a human foot when placed on top of it. Each sensor group is composed of a plurality of linear displacement sensors which measure the displacement caused by the bottom surface of the foot and communicate that displacement to a data processing device which compiles a three dimensional rendition of the bottom of the foot surface from the individual data points from the displacement senors. Accurate renditions of the bottom surface of a human foot may be achieved by a person simply standing on the sensor groups barefoot.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2003Publication date: September 23, 2004Applicant: GOLDEN DRAGON ORTHOTICS LIMITEDInventors: Jianxiong Liang, Zhiqiang Liang, Shaorong Feng

Patent number: 5800364Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for recording characteristics of a person's foot and for interpreting the results to design a function foot orthosis. As the person undergoes a movement routine, video cameras (24, 26, 28, 30) view the person's foot in real time from below, from the front, from the right side and from the rear to produce simultaneous images which together give a three-dimensional record of the person's foot. During analysis, selected video images from the recordings are calibrated and analyzed geometrically to ascertain the characteristics of the person's foot. A functional orthotic is designed and manufactured by computer-aided apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: Orthotics LimitedInventors: Kenneth Donald Glennie, William Alan Turner
