APPARATUS FOR COUPLING PROSTHETIC COMPONENTS HAVING ANGULAR AND TRANSLATIONAL OFFSET

摘要

An prosthetic alignment device. In one embodiment, the prosthetic alignment device includes a first component having a first end portion configured to be coupled to one of a prosthesis or a residual limb and a second end portion having a curved channel extending along a curved channel axis; a second component extending along a second central axis comprising a first end portion configured to be coupled to the other one of the prosthesis or the residual limb and a second end portion comprising a curved bar that extends along a curved bar axis, the curved bar positioned within the curved channel so as to be slidable along the curved channel axis in first and second opposite directions so that the first and second components can be selectively adjusted to a plurality of relative positions.

1. A prosthetic alignment device comprising:
a first component extending along a first central axis comprising:
a first end portion configured to be coupled to one of a prosthesis or a residual limb; anda second end portion comprising a curved channel extending along a curved channel axis between opposite lateral side surfaces of the first component; a second component extending along a second central axis comprising:
a first end portion configured to be coupled to the other one of the prosthesis or the residual limb; anda second end portion comprising a curved bar that extends along a curved bar axis; the curved bar slidably disposed within the curved channel to couple the first and second components together, the curved bar slidable within the curved channel so as to be slid along the curved channel axis in first and second opposite directions so that the first and second components can be selectively adjusted to a plurality of relative positions, the plurality of relative positions comprising: (1) a first relative position in which the first and second central axes are parallel to one another; and (2) a second relative position in which the first and second central axes are angularly offset from one another.
