ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE, HAVING A FOOT PART, A LOWER-LEG PART AND A THIGH PART

摘要

The invention relates to an orthopedic device, comprising a foot part (10), a lower-leg part (20) and a thigh part (30). The foot part (10) is connected to the lower-leg part (20) for pivoting about a first pivot axis (12) by means of an ankle joint (15). The lower-leg part (20) is connected to the thigh part (30) for pivoting about a second pivot axis (23) by means of a knee joint (25). The foot part (10) is connected to the thigh part (30) by means of a force-transmitting apparatus (40). The force-transmitting apparatus (40) causes a dorsal flexion of the foot part (10) in the event of a knee flexion over a first knee flexion angle range and causes a plantar flexion of the foot part (10) in the event of further knee flexion after a knee flexion limit angle (αLim) has been exceeded.
