Abstract:
The invention relates to a join mechanism of a knee orthosis or knee prosthesis, having a first part (14), a second part (15), which is pivotable relative to the latter, and attachment means (2) for securing the joint mechanism (1) to a user of the knee orthosis or knee prosthesis, and having a locking mechanism (4, 40) with which a pivoting of the two parts (14, 15) relative to each other in a flexion direction is prevented by a form-fit element 94) which is arranged movably on the second part (15) and which, in the locking state, engages with a form lit in a recess (40) assigned to the first part (14), wherein the form-fit element (4) is mounted rotatably on the second part (15) and has a contour which, in the locked position, protrudes into the recess (40) and, in the released position, allows the first part (14) to pivot past the bearing of the form-fit element (4).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a prosthetic knee-joint comprising an upper part with a fixing device for a receptacle of a leg stump and a lower part that is pivotally connected to the upper part by a multi-axial articulation device. The lower part can be straightened at all times in an unhindered manner and a locking device is provided to prevent flexion of the articulation device. The aim of the invention is to provide a prosthetic knee-joint that allows ease of movement when standing up and sitting down on a chair. In addition, said prosthetic knee-joint should remain stable and locked when standing and walking to provide maximum safety for the geriatric patient. To achieve this, the articulation device has a resistance element, which during a flexion exerts a resistance in opposition to the latter within a pre-definable angular range and which can be freely straightened at all times.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for setting up a control, and to a control for a technical orthopedic device, and a technical orthopedic device as such. Actuations of the technical orthopedic device (1) are provided by means of an output device (2, 3), biomettric signals are received by sensors (12), and said signals are associated with the respective actuations.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an agent for the prophylaxis and/or therapy of conditions associated with a disorder of bone formation. It contains alkali metal citrates and/or alkali metal lactates and/or alkali metal malates, optionally together with one or more active substances selected from vitamin K, calcium salts and vitamin D. The agent preferably contains potassium citrates and/or sodium citrates or potassium lactates and/or sodium lactates and serves for the prophylaxis and/or therapy of osteoclasis, in particular osteoporosis or osteomalacia.

Abstract:
A forearm lifter for assisting in the articulation of a mating forearm part of an arm prosthesis with respect to a mating upper arm part about at least one elbow axis is disclosed. The forearm lifter includes: (i) a spring element; (ii) a mechanism having an input and an output, with the spring element directly or indirectly applying a tensile force to the input of the mechanism; and (iii) a tension element having one end acted upon by the output of the mechanism, and having another end which can be fastened at a fixed point on said mating upper arm part. The fixed point and the elbow axis define a torque lever, such that the force that is transmitted through the mechanism from the spring element applies torque to the mating upper arm part in such a manner that the curve of the torque acting at the fixed point, plotted against the angle of articulation of said forearm part, is approximately parabolic. The torque has its minimum values in both the forearm extended position and at maximum forearm bending. The torque has its maximum value when said upper arm mating part and said forearm are at approximately 90.degree..
