  • Publication number: 20250057679
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for putting on an orthosis (2) with a first dimensionally stable component (4), comprising a first magnetic element (36) and a first form-fitting element (8), and a second dimensionally stable component (6), comprising a second magnetic element (14) and a second form-fitting element (12), the method comprising the following steps: putting the first component (4) against a part of the wearer's body so it extends along the body part, positioning the second component (6) on the first component (4), wherein a magnetic attractive force acts between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element in a first direction when the orthosis (2) is mounted, and the first form-fitting element forms a form-fitting connection with the second form-fitting element, by means of which a movement of the two components relative to each other is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20240341990
    Abstract: The invention relates to an orthosis comprising: a first fastening element (15) for fastening a first orthosis component (10) to a proximal body part of a user; a second orthosis component (20) having a second fastening element (21) for being fixed to a distal body part of the user; and a joint device (30) which is located at the proximal end (22) of the second orthosis component (20) and which has a joint upper part (40) and which makes it possible for the second orthosis component (20) to pivot about a joint axis (4) in the sagittal plane relative to the joint upper part (40), the joint upper part (40) being mounted or designed on the first orthosis component (10) in a fastening device (11) so as to be pivotable and/or displaceable in the frontal plane and so as to be rotationally rigid in the sagittal plane.

  • Patent number: 12076253
    Abstract: A method for producing orthosis or prosthesis components for receiving or for fastening to a body part, the method including: applying a base layer to a support corresponding in form to the form of the body part, arranging multiple fastening elements having a base and an interlocking element protruding from the base, on the base layer in defined positions relative to one another, the base of the fastening element resting on the base layer or facing towards the base layer, placing at least one layer of a fiber composite material on the base layer and embedding the base, the interlocking element remaining accessible from the side facing away from the base layer, and curing the at least one fiber composite material layer.

  • Patent number: 11957610
    Abstract: A positioning device for arranging and orienting multiple securing elements on a base layer of a base body of an orthopaedic device. The positioning device includes a first holder having at least one receiving device for a securing element, and a second holder having at least one receiving device for a securing element, wherein the first holder and the second holder are mounted on one another such that they can swivel about a swivel axis about a restricted angular range starting from a starting position.

  • Publication number: 20210401608
    Abstract: The invention relates to a knee orthosis with a proximal frame and a distal frame which are connected via a lateral joint and/or a medial join joint such that they can be swiveled, wherein the knee orthosis comprises a proximal pressure element that is arranged exclusively laterally or exclusively medially on the proximal frame by means of a proximal support arm, and a distal pressure element that is arranged exclusively laterally or exclusively medially on the distal frame by means of a distal support arm.
