ORTHOPAEDIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING A LOWER EXTREMITY OF A USER
An orthopedic device for supporting a lower limb and/or a lower back of a user includes at least one upper joint element, at least one lower joint element which can be pivoted relative to the upper joint element, and at least one actuator configured to apply a torque to the upper joint element and/or the lower joint element. Application of a torque pivots the upper joint element and the lower joint element relative to each other. The orthopedic device also includes at least one ground contact element which is connected to the lower joint element such that when the orthopedicdevice is in the mounted state, the torque applied by the at least one passive actuator is transmitted by the ground contact element to a ground on which the user is located.
producing manufacturing data for the orthopedic product on the basis of the reduced three-dimensional body part model by means of the electronic data processing apparatus.
The invention relates to an orthopedic system having a leaf spring element (40) and a bearing component (600) supported on the main surface of the spring element and being fixable to the leaf spring element. At least one elastomeric element (71, 72) is arranged between the bearing component and the main surface of the leaf spring element and is fastened to the leaf spring element and the bearing component such that it transfers shearing forces.
