Abstract

See full text

An orthesis for the human knee, having two joints which are disposed at the sides of the knee and from which there project arms which embrace the knee-cap and meet in pairs above and below the knee-cap in a centrally disposed tongue in each case, by each of which tongues at least one thigh strap and one leg strap respectively are carried above and below the knee. Each tongue is connected to its associated strap by an interchangeable longitudinal rail, placed in position from the outside, via adjustment means which, substantially in the region of the torque, determine the strap axis in rotation to the joints, and in the region of the strap, determine its distance from the joints.
