  • Publication number: 20210275380
    Abstract: A device for supporting at least one arm of a user, has one or more arm support elements, each of which has an arm shell for mounting on an arm. Passive actuator(s) are configured to exert a force on an arm support element by way of which an upward movement of the arm in the arm shell is supported when the device is in the mounted state. The device includes at least one counter bearing for the force to be applied, and at least one actuating element, the actuation of which allows the actuator to be moved into a first state where the actuator exerts the force on the at least one arm support element, and into a second state in which it exerts a smaller or no force on the arm support element.

  • Patent number: 8273042
    Abstract: The use of an orthopedic aid with two parts (15, 16) which are movable relative to one another and with a locking device for locking the two parts (15, 16) in a predetermined relative position and for unlocking the parts (15, 16) in order to permit movement of the parts (15, 16) with respect to one another is made much safer by virtue of the fact that at least one signaling arrangement (36, 40, 41, 42) is provided which emits a particular signal for the locking state or upon unlocking of the locking device. The risk of accidents due to the parts (15, 16) being incorrectly locked is at least substantially reduced.

  • Patent number: 7887496
    Abstract: A joint orthosis including an upper member, a lower member operably connected to the upper member by one or more swivel axes at a joint mechanism, and a pad attached to the joint mechanism and positioned between the joint mechanism and the body part, wherein the joint mechanism includes a clip connection for securing the pad to the joint mechanism. The upper and lower members include a means for attaching the joint orthosis to a body part of a user, such as an extremity. The clip connection connects to a coupling element that is one or more of an adapter or pad bracket positioned between the joint mechanism and the pad. The pad, pad bracket and/or adapter are configured to cover over the joint mechanism and the pivot axis. The upper and lower members can include teeth that interlock with each other in order to form a synchronized pivot movement.

  • Patent number: 7172567
    Abstract: In an orthopedic aid with two parts (15, 16) which are movable relative to one another and with a locking device for locking the two parts (15, 16) in a predetermined relative position and for unlocking the parts (15, 16) in order to permit movement of the parts (15, 16) with respect to one another, the unlocking can be advantageously controlled by the fact that the locking device can be actuated electromechanically from a control module (8, 8?), and an actuating signal can be sent by wireless transmission from an actuating unit (9?, 14) to the control module (8, 8?).

  • Patent number: 7001349
    Abstract: An orthopedic splint, which, as part of an orthosis, is intended to bear on a part of the body, can be used with different configurations. The splint consists of two round rods (2, 3) which are arranged approximately in a plane (9) and whose ends on both sides are inserted rotatably in round seats (8) of two endpieces (1, 4). Both round rods (2, 3) are designed with at least one angled part (5, 6) in the plane (9). The round seats (8) of an endpiece (1, 4) form an acute angle with respect to one another and are designed with an excess dimension relative to the inserted end so that, by rotating the round rods (2, 3), different relative angles extending out from the plane (9) can be set between the endpieces (1, 4) in two end settings.
