20100076357 | PROSTHETIC SLEEVE - The invention is a sleeve for application to a human extremity. The sleeve has a tubular structure with distal and proximal openings, a pre-flexed section between the openings, and distal and proximal contact zones on opposing sides of the pre-flexed section. At least the distal contact zone extends from the pre-flexed section in a conically tapering manner. A distal end zone is disposed between the distal contact zone and the distal end. The distal end zone may also be conically tapered toward the distal end, and in one embodiment has a different degree of taper that the distal contact zone. | 03-25-2010 |
20090192625 | HIP JOINT PROSTHESIS - A hip joint prosthesis includes connection means for securing the hip joint prosthesis to a securing device and to an artificial leg, and a control unit for controlling an extension movement in the hip joint and for controlling the step length of the artificial leg. | 07-30-2009 |
20090076618 | JOINT DEVICE - A joint device for an orthoses or prostheses includes an upper part, a lower part mounted on the upper part in such a way as to turn about a pivot axis, and braking means that brakes or blocks a pivoting movement of the lower part relative to the upper part. The braking means includes a spiral spring arranged between two contact surfaces and is mounted such that it can be braced in the direction of the contact surfaces about a rotation axis parallel to the pivot axis. | 03-19-2009 |
20090049870 | KNITTED SPACER FABRIC AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - A knitted spacer fabric includes an upper textile, a lower textile and mutually crossing supporting threads arranged between the upper textile and the lower textile which connect the upper and the lower textiles to one another. Portions of the supporting threads are connected to one another at crossing points. | 02-26-2009 |
20090005887 | Method for Adjusting a System that is Modified in a Cycle to a Non-Constant Cyclical Target Profile and Controller Therefor - The invention relates to a method for adjusting a system that changes in a cycle to a nonconstant cyclic target profile by comparing measured actual values with appropriate target values for the target profile and outputting a control value. | 01-01-2009 |
20080319553 | Hand Prosthesis and Force Transmission Device - The invention relates to a hand prosthesis ( | 12-25-2008 |
20080312753 | Clutch Module For Prosthesis - The invention relates to a clutch module for prostheses, in particular for prosthetic grippers, arm prostheses or hand prostheses that comprise a chassis to which at least one finger prosthesis is articulated, the clutch module including a drive element, a driven element and a clutch device, which shifts between two gear stages depending on the torques applied to the driven element. | 12-18-2008 |
20080306612 | Artificial Foot - The invention relates to an artificial foot with a connecting part for a lower leg part, a forefoot part which is pivotably connected to the connecting part by means of an upper coupling element and a lower coupling element in such a way that an angular position of the connecting part controls an angular position of the forefoot part, one of the coupling elements extending into a heel area of the foot. | 12-11-2008 |
20080287834 | Method for Carrying Out a Functional Analysis of an Artificial Extremity - A method for carrying out a functional analysis on a person equipped with an artificial extremity having adjustable settings. The method includes the steps of providing a sensor assembly configured as a replacement for a part of the artificial extremity and installing the sensor assembly in place of the part. Forces, accelerations and/or torques are then measured with the sensor assembly during use of the artificial extremity by the person and the settings of the artificial extremity are optimized based on these measurements. The sensor assembly is removed and the replaced part is installed back into the artificial extremity, while retaining the optimized settings. In one embodiment, the artificial extremity is a leg prosthesis having an artificial knee joint with a rotational adaptor mounted above it. The sensor assembly then replaces the rotational adaptor. | 11-20-2008 |
20080262636 | Hand Prosthesis With Fingers That Can Be Aligned in an Articulated Manner - The invention relates to a hand prosthesis comprising a chassis, to which a number of finger prostheses are articulated, said finger prostheses being movable relative to the chassis and toward one another about at least one swiveling axis by means of a drive. | 10-23-2008 |
20080262634 | Hand Prosthesis Comprising Two Drive Devices - The invention relates to a hand prosthesis comprising a chassis, to which at least one finger prosthesis is articulated, said finger prosthesis being movable about at least one swiveling axis by means of a drive. | 10-23-2008 |
20080262401 | ORTHOSIS/ORTHESES - An orthesis with a base plate designed to fit the body of an orthesis wearer enables improved handling and storage. The base plate being provided on at least one side with a fastening mechanism for rigid connection with a separate extension piece for enlarging the base plate and the extension piece to be connected to the base plate. The extension piece also provided with a similar fastening mechanism, such that multiple extension pieces may be connected together. | 10-23-2008 |
20080255670 | PROSTHETIC OR ORTHOTIC JOINT - Prosthetic or orthotic joint with at least two joint segments that are mounted rotatably to each other around a joint axis, and a pivotal piston mounted in torque-proof fashion in one of the upper or lower joint segments. The pivotal piston is received in a displacement chamber containing a fluid, with the pivotal piston subdividing the displacement chamber into two partial chambers that are connected with each other via a connecting channel at least across a selected pivoting angle range of the pivotal piston. At least one flow section determining contour is formed between the pivotal piston and one selected displacement chamber wall, which is in a fluidic connection with the connecting channel and the displacement chamber across a selected rotation angle. The contour also provides a varying free flow section for the passage of the fluid dependent on the rotational position of the pivotal piston. | 10-16-2008 |
20080208091 | Lower Back Orthosis - A lower back orthosis includes a bandage designed to surround the lower back of a patient and a support device connected to the bandage. The support device is formed by a plurality of finger-shaped rods connected directly to one another. The finger-shaped rods are oriented in a longitudinal direction of a spinal column when positioned on a patient. | 08-28-2008 |
