| 20110093090 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECREASING BUILD HEIGHT OF PROSTHETIC PRODUCTS - An adapter assembly allows mechanical coupling of prosthetic components such that a distal end of a socket adapter ( | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110112657 | PYRAMID RECEPTACLE FOR COUPLING A PROSTHETIC LIMB TO A SOCKET - A pyramid receptacle for coupling a prosthetic limb to a socket, comprising a unitary machined component formed with an externally-threaded neck section flanged by a larger-diameter disk. The disk is formed with a concave face, and a central cavity. A plurality of threaded set screws are journalled into the hollow threaded neck section through the threads thereof and into communication with the central cavity. Machining the threaded holes for the plurality of set screws directly through the hollow threaded neck section, and ensuring that the set screws stay flush or recessed when fully tightened effectively halves the length of the pyramid receptacle and facilitates angular adjustment of the prosthetic limb before affixing it in place, but does not significantly increase the profile length of the interconnection between socket and knee joint. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110313545 | METHOD FOR ALIGNING A PROSTHESIS - A computerized prosthesis alignment system includes a transducer that can measure socket reactions in the anterior/posterior plane and the right/left planes, while canceling or reducing the transverse forces on the measurements of these socket reactions. In addition, the transducer is also capable of determining the axial load or weight experienced by the prosthesis. The computerized prosthesis alignment system is in communication with a host computer. The moment data from the transducer is interpreted by the user via a computer interface. The host computer includes memory for storing one or more applications. These applications receive data from the transducer, interpret the data with discrete algebraic or fuzzy logic algorithms, and display the output numerically and graphically. Applications may also interpret the data to provide analyses to the user for aligning the prosthesis. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20120232676 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECREASING BUILD HEIGHT OF PROSTHETIC PRODUCTS - An adapter assembly allows mechanical coupling of prosthetic components such that a distal end of a socket adapter extends below a top surface of a prosthetic. The adapter assembly may include sets of external threads to operatively engage internally threaded surfaces of the prosthetic and the socket adapter. | 09-13-2012 |
| 20120239163 | Leg prosthesis - A leg prosthesis wherein the prosthesis shaft and the transtibial part are connected by a prosthesis shaft adapter. The prosthesis shaft adapter is constructed as a compact one-part component with a liner (sleeve as inner prosthesis shaft adapter) of the amputation stump and with a rearward extension for the prosthesis receptacle connection. The prosthesis shaft adapter is designed such that, in addition to the rearward extension of 1 cm to 10 cm, the prosthesis receptacle connection is also angled and laterally offset. Advantageously, the leg prosthesis according to the invention has a relatively low weight due to the prosthesis shaft adapter as a connecting element. The leg prosthesis operates absolutely safely and can be efficiently produced. The fabrication of a leg prosthesis with an individual biomechanical fit to the patient is significantly facilitated, which also results in fewer faulty prostheses. | 09-20-2012 |
