<p>A pivot mechanism for a joint support has a connector (10), a first support (20) and a second support (30). The connector (10) has multiple slots (122,122A). The first support (20) and the second support (30) are mounted pivotally in the connector (10) and rotate synchronously, and each has a protrusion (236,336). The protrusions (236,336) are adjusted to mount in the slots (122,122A) of the connector (10) and to limit an angle between the first and second support (20,30) to a determined range. Then, the pivot mechanism is attached around a joint of a patient to limit joint movement within the determined range, which can be adjusted easily during rehabilitation.</p> |
