Abstract: An eccentric and polycentric articulated tensioning joint applied to an orthopedic brace with adjustable angular excursion placed in correspondence of body joints comprises two bars each hinged to a rotation pin, wherein said rotation pins are constrained parallel to each other at a predefined distance, said two bars being connected to each other by means of respective semi-circular toothed profiles present on each bar, so as to be set in synchronous motion relative to each other. Said two bars are associated with a respective pair of loop elements, which are kinetically connected to said bars in such a way as to impart thereto the same rotational movements and partially transform them into relative translational movements along the longitudinal axes of each of the bars themselves, in order to effect linear movements of reciprocal distancing or nearing relative to the rotation centres thereof located on said pins.

Abstract: An orthosis with controlled angular excursion can be positioned at the level of a joint or articulation of the human body. The orthosis includes an articulated joint with a basic structure designed to be positioned on the joint and also includes centrally, a pin with toothing located in a circular sector with predetermined width. The basic structure and the relative pin provided with toothing are equipped with a respective pair of rings, each of which has a substantially elongated shape. A hollow part, or slot, includes two straight sectors, of which at least one is provided with toothing with the same pitch as the toothing of the pin with which it engages. The pair of rings can, when in use, be simultaneously rotated around the pin, and are provided with slots which in turn include a tractor for the orthosis.
