Orthopedic Brace with Sloping Paddle Members

摘要

The flexible, sloping paddle members of an orthopedic brace reduce brace migration. The flexible, sloping paddle members comprise males and/or relief cuts in the paddle members to reduce brace migration and contribute to a better fitting brace. Each paddle member is centrally connected to a connector member and can be flexed around a patient's limb. The face of the paddle member slopes so that when the paddle member is flexed to surround a patient's limb, the face forms a cavity in the shape of a conical section, which is complementary to a patients limb.
