Abstract: A hinge for an orthopedic device includes an upper hinge component having a bottom peripheral surface defined by a first geometrical configuration, and a lower hinge component having a top peripheral surface defined by a second geometrical configuration. An outer plate pivotally connects at first location points to the upper and lower hinge components, and a rear component pivotally connects at second location points to the upper and lower hinge components. The hinge has a rotation stop defining a third geometrical configuration defining a top portion corresponding in shape to at least a portion of the bottom peripheral surface and is arranged to directly abut the portion of the bottom peripheral surface. The rotation stop also defines a bottom portion corresponding in shape to at least a portion of the top peripheral surface and is arranged to directly abut the portion of the top peripheral surface.

Abstract: A leg support is adapted to be secured to a leg. The leg support includes an elongate and continuous strut having first and second rigid or semi-rigid segments, and a flexible middle segment located therebetween. The strut is arranged for securing to a posterior side of a leg and is centrally located along a medial-lateral plane of a leg. A resilient device is secured to the strut against a first surface thereof and extends across a length of the middle strut segment whereby the resilient device is configured to assist and resist certain movements of a leg. A coupling arrangement is arranged to be secured to footwear.
