    摘要: The invention relates to a method for controlling an artificial orthotic or prosthetic knee joint, on which a lower leg component is arranged and which is assigned a resistance device having at least one actuator, by means of which the bending resistance is modified depending on sensor data that is determined during use of the orthotic or prosthetic knee joint by means of a sensor, wherein the absolute angle of the lower leg component is determined exclusively by means of at least one inertial sensor, the angle determined is compared with at least one threshold value, and the bending Resistance is modified when the threshold value is reached.

    摘要: The invention relates to a prosthetic foot with

    a foot part 2 and
    a lower leg part 4 that is connected to the foot part 2 such that it can be pivoted about a pivot axis 6 and that can be locked in various pivot angles relative to the foot part 2,

    the connection between the lower leg part 4 and the foot part 2 having a clearance in the pivot direction when the foot part 2 is locked on the lower leg part 4, the prosthetic foot having at least one friction element 14 arranged between the foot part 2 and the lower leg part 4 and applying a frictional torque that counteracts a pivoting of the foot part 2 relative to the lower leg part 4 when the foot part 2 is locked relative to the lower leg part 4.

    摘要: The invention relates to a prosthetic foot comprising a main body (10), a proximal connection device (15) for connecting the prosthetic foot (1) to a further prosthesis component, and a foot-front component (12) which is pivotally mounted on the main body (10) and which is associated with a resistance device (20), which resistance device retards plantar flexion of the foot-front component (12), wherein the foot-front component (12) is mounted on the main body (10) via at least one resilient component (30, 31, 32) which moves the foot-front component (12) back into a starting position after a deflection.

    摘要: A valve with an inlet, an outlet that is connected to the inlet via a fluid connection, and a valve body which can be brought by displacing it along a displacement direction into a first position, in which the fluid connection is blocked, and a second position, in which the fluid connection is open, wherein the inlet is designed and arranged in such a way that a fluid entering through the inlet exerts a total force on the valve body that at least also acts in a force direction which is perpendicular to the displacement direction when the valve body is in the first position.

    摘要: An orthopaedic device with a shell mechanism which can be brought into a closed position in which it engages at least partially around a body part arranged in the shell mechanism, and into an open position, in which the body part can be brought into the shell mechanism, wherein the shell mechanism can be brought from the open position to the closed position by means of the body part being introduced into the shell mechanism. The device has at least one actuation element which is arranged and designed in such a way that it is actuated when the body part is introduced into the shell mechanism, and it brings the shell mechanism from the open position to the closed position, wherein the actuation element has a tensile force transmission element, in particular a band or a cloth.
