Abstract: A hip orthosis for a leg of a user including a hip shell removably attached to a flexible waistband by one or more flexible straps, the hip shell being configured to flex when tightened. A first push button for hip adjustment of abduction and adduction is between the hip shell and a hip hinge assembly having a push button release of locking pins for setting flexion and extension movement of the leg. A second push button is positioned below the first push button and the hinge assembly for hip adjustment of abduction and adduction between the hip hinge assembly and a thigh support unit which is attached to a leg adjuster extended downward from the hip hinge assembly.

Abstract: A hip orthosis for a leg of a user including a hip shell removably attached to a flexible waistband by one or more flexible straps, the hip shell being configured to flex when tightened. A first push button for hip adjustment of abduction and adduction is between the hip shell and a hip hinge assembly having a push button release of locking pins for setting flexion and extension movement of the leg. A second push button is positioned below the first push button and the hinge assembly for hip adjustment of abduction and adduction between the hip hinge assembly and a thigh support unit which is attached to a leg adjuster extended downward from the hip hinge assembly.

Abstract: Our design provides a moderate control of abduction and adduction without requiring tools. This can be accomplished with a first push button 5, shown in FIG. 1, for a hip adjustment of both abduction and adduction between a hip shell 2 and a hip hinge assembly that provides release of locking pins for setting the flexion and extension movement of the user's leg. A second push button 6 provides abduction and adduction between the hip hinge assembly 1 and a thigh supporting unit. To facilitate an initial vertical adjustment, we provide a flexible plastic spacer 7 with circular openings extending through the spacer between the leg adjuster and the upper thigh support pad. The flexible plastic spacer 7 enables an initial adhesion between the hook and nap material through openings in the flexible plastic spacer 7.
