FRONTAL JOINT MECHANISM FOR ORTHOTIC DEVICES

摘要

A frontal joint mechanism to be coupled to an orthotic device having a distal and a proximal support elements linked together by a joint component, comprising a first displacement element connected to the joint component, a second displacement element connected to the distal or the proximal support element and a rigid link connecting the first and the second displacement elements. The combination of the first and second displacement elements provides rotational and translational displacements in the coronal plane of the distal support element with respect to the proximal support element of the orthotic device.
