<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The proximal limbs (161, 162) are connected by a proximal joint (24) and the distal limbs (181, 182) are connected by a distal joint (40). These joints can be turned and fixed. They are scissor joints. Their axes (P, Q) are at right angles to the joint axis about which the load-bearing hinges (12, 14) swing. Parts (341, 342; 361, 362) of the distal side limbs (381, 382) pivot about axes (U1, U2) parallel to the rotation axis (Q). Similarly, parts of the proximal side limbs swing about axes (A1, A2) parallel to the rotation axis (P). #CMT#USE : #/CMT# An orthotic appliance for bracing the knee joint. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The spacing between the loaded joints is continuously-adjustable, to suit the width of the knee. Should the knee swell during the course of the day, the adjustment is easily and rapidly completed. This saves time for both patient and medical staff. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of the knee joint orthotic. 12, 14 : load-bearing hinges 16.1, 16.2 : proximal limbs 18.1, 18.2 : distal limbs 24 : proximal joint 34.1, 34.2; 36.1, 36.2 : parts of distal side limbs 38.1, 38.2 : distal side limbs 40 : distal joint A1, A2 : axes P, Q : axes U1, U2 : axes.</p> |
