ANKLE AND KNEE MOTORIZED ORTHOSIS

摘要

The invention relates to an ankle and knee orthosis (100) motorized and of modular type, comprising a knee articular unit (1) and an ankle articular unit (2). Each of these articular units (1, 2) is formed by two elements (11, 13; 21, 23) angularly movable relative to one another between which is interposed a torsion spring (12, 22) or an equivalent elastic element. The overall arrangement is such that, in use, this elastic element is induced in a condition of elastic loading by a corresponding motor or pair of motors (111, 112; 211, 212) of the orthosis associated with one of the two elements angularly movable in such a way as to exert a corresponding elastic action on the other articular member, which elastic action assists a motive act of the subject.
