  • Patent number: 10639172
    Abstract: An above-the-knee post-operative residual limb support device is described. The support device may be used shortly after amputation of a portion of a limb, such as a portion of a patient's leg (e.g., such as in an above-the knee (“AK”) amputation procedure). Such a support device may be referred to as an Immediate Post-Operative Prosthesis (“IPOP”).

  • Patent number: 5328444
    Abstract: The motion of two pivotally connected orthosis members are limited in both directions of movement. An adjustable arresting member limits motion in one direction. An elongated member, preferably made of flexible cables, is connected to the two orthosis members to limit motion in the opposite direction.

  • Patent number: 5022390
    Abstract: An orthotic device for limiting limb motion at a joint has two pivotally connected members which are shaped to conform to the portions of the anatomy on opposite sides of the joint. One member has an abutment thereon engageable by an adjustable stop on the other member to limit pivotal movement between the two members. The other member is preferably formed of sheet plastic material which is formed around a mounting block which threadably receives an adjusting member for adjusting the stop.
