Issue Date: | 29-Oct-2024 | Source: | US Patent US 12,129,886 B2. Washington, DC: US Patent and Trademark Office, 2024. | Abstract: | An orthopedic hinge assembly is provided, which includes a V-shaped blade, an intermediate blade and a terminal blade. The V-shaped blade, the intermediate blade and the terminal blade are provided with holes to allow a fixed member to pass through; the V-shaped blade is hinged to one end of the intermediate blade for supporting the bending of a body; another end of the intermediate blade is hinged to the terminal blade for supporting the bending of the body; the strip-shaped grooves on the V-shaped blade, the intermediate blade and the terminal blade can be used to fix the orthopedic hinge assembly to a surface of the body using a belt or other fixed member, and to make the corrective member stably fix to one side of the body, effectively producing the lateral corrective force; the design of each blade can coordinate the forward bending motion of the body, effectively introducing the corrective force. | Rights: | Assignee: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University |
