摘要

The device has upper and lower sealing units (1, 2) disposed above and below knees. Supports (3, 4) e.g. metallic tube, connect the sealing units and has a joint axis (6) between the sealing units, where the axis corresponds to a knee joint-axis. The upper sealing unit is designed to sit below a small protuberance in a thigh (7), which is arranged in an area of a buttock muscle or gluteus maximus muscle. The lower sealing unit is adapted to a shape of lower projections of a tibia ankle of a lower leg (9), and is supported in the projections.
