Publication number: 20220133520Abstract: An orthopedic device is provided for treating complications of the hip and has means for trochanter compression, pelvis support, lumbar compression, variously directed straps, and thigh support. The trochanter compression and an internal/external rotation strap provide pain relief through compression and skin protection, unloading of joints through compression and sealing, and unloading by load transfer. Means for adjustably dosing of straps enables pain management and ease of use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Arni Thor INGIMUNDARSON, Thorvaldur INGVARSSON, Nina BAKKEN, Valgeir PETURSSON, Helga Run PALSDOTTIR, Thorleifur STEFANSSON, Hronn KRISTINSDOTTIR, Stefan Orn STEFANSSON, Henry HSU

Patent number: 10292454Abstract: An orthopedic device includes a lateral wedge positionable under a foot of a user. The lateral wedge has posterior and anterior ends, and upper and lower surfaces. First and second sides extend between the upper and lower surfaces. A thickness is defined between the upper and lower surfaces that tapers from the first side toward the second side such that the lateral wedge provides a lift under the foot to unload pressure from an affected compartment of the knee by supporting a one side of the foot in an elevated position relative to the other. At least one trim line extends in a direction between the posterior and anterior ends. The lateral wedge is trimmable along the at least one trim line to vary or control the amount of lift provided by varying the thickness of the lateral wedge along the first side relative to the second side.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Ossur Iceland, ehfInventors: Bjorn Omarsson, Halldor Albertsson, Thorleifur Stefansson, Larus Gunnsteinsson, Arni Thor Ingimundarson
