  • Publication number: 20220218501
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor support (10) for arranging on a prosthesis, comprising a main part (20) for receiving sensors, said main part (20) having a sensor section (25) comprising sensors. The main part (20) has a holding section (30) for holding the main part (20) on a prosthesis part and a knitted fabric tube (21). The holding section (30) has a first knitted structure (32) which allows a secure hold of the main part (20) on the prosthesis part, and the sensor section (25) has a different knitted structure (27) which allows a secure positioning of the sensors relative to the prosthesis part.

  • Publication number: 20210259858
    Abstract: A training device for stimulating nerve cell ends in a training manner, includes a housing having at least one first housing portion and a plurality of stimulators for stimulating physionomie-typical nerve area portions. A plurality of stimulators are arranged systematically at least on the first housing portion of the housing so that the plurality of stimulators in the training state each act on nerve cell ends with which they are associated. Also disclose are a method for operating the training device, the use of the training device as a modular stimulation device for stimulating nerve cell ends, a prosthesis, a method for producing a prosthesis and the use of a training device for stimulating nerve cell ends in a prosthesis.

  • Patent number: 7887496
    Abstract: A joint orthosis including an upper member, a lower member operably connected to the upper member by one or more swivel axes at a joint mechanism, and a pad attached to the joint mechanism and positioned between the joint mechanism and the body part, wherein the joint mechanism includes a clip connection for securing the pad to the joint mechanism. The upper and lower members include a means for attaching the joint orthosis to a body part of a user, such as an extremity. The clip connection connects to a coupling element that is one or more of an adapter or pad bracket positioned between the joint mechanism and the pad. The pad, pad bracket and/or adapter are configured to cover over the joint mechanism and the pivot axis. The upper and lower members can include teeth that interlock with each other in order to form a synchronized pivot movement.

  • Publication number: 20080208091
    Abstract: A lower back orthosis includes a bandage designed to surround the lower back of a patient and a support device connected to the bandage. The support device is formed by a plurality of finger-shaped rods connected directly to one another. The finger-shaped rods are oriented in a longitudinal direction of a spinal column when positioned on a patient.

  • Patent number: 7001349
    Abstract: An orthopedic splint, which, as part of an orthosis, is intended to bear on a part of the body, can be used with different configurations. The splint consists of two round rods (2, 3) which are arranged approximately in a plane (9) and whose ends on both sides are inserted rotatably in round seats (8) of two endpieces (1, 4). Both round rods (2, 3) are designed with at least one angled part (5, 6) in the plane (9). The round seats (8) of an endpiece (1, 4) form an acute angle with respect to one another and are designed with an excess dimension relative to the inserted end so that, by rotating the round rods (2, 3), different relative angles extending out from the plane (9) can be set between the endpieces (1, 4) in two end settings.
