Patent number: 11622878Abstract: A cervical collar has a chin support slidably connected to an inside surface of an anterior component adapted to secure against an anterior chin and neck of a user. A posterior component connects to the anterior component to circumferentially surround the user's neck. A height adjustment mechanism has spring locks securing the height adjustment mechanism against the anterior component. The cervical collar includes a footplate continuously extending from the height adjustment mechanism generally without a variation in thickness. The posterior component has side portions with a plurality of living hinges located proximate to elongate slots for straps connecting to the anterior component.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: OSSUR HFInventors: Hildur Inga Thorsteinsdottir, Arni Thor Ingimundarson

Publication number: 20220401236Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for detecting ground contact with a lower-limb POD. A sensor array for the POD on a first or second body may include two or more sensors in an array that each detect a distance to a respective target on the other of the first or second body. The first and second bodies may move relative to each other thereby changing an offset distance or distances between the two bodies which is detected by the sensors. In some embodiments, the sensors may include Hall Effect sensors that detect distances to respective magnets. Load data based on the detected distances may be generated for control of the POD, such as for stance phase control.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Sigurmundur Gudjonsson, Arni Einarsson, Hildur Inga Thorsteinsdottir, David Langlois
