  • Orthotic Device with Removably Attachable Actuator
    Publication number: 20110009788
    Abstract: An orthotic device adapted to use one or more actuators includes a frame having a first section and a second section movably coupled to the first section in a coupling region to permit relative motion of the sections about a pivot axis. The frame is configured to receive at least one removably attachable actuator. The orthotic device also includes an actuator removably attachable to the frame. The removably attachable actuator is configured to move the sections relative to one another via a coupling in the coupling region. The removably attachable actuator may be a motorized actuator, a dynamic actuator with at least one spring, or both.
