The invention relates a device for supporting two armsof a userwherein the device has wherein the force transmission elementsare arranged on the counter bearing elementsuch that they can be moved relative to the counter bearing elementin particular they can be rotated about at least one rotational axis.

Device for supporting both arms of a user

The invention relates to a device for supporting at least one armof a user. The device has at least one arm support elementwith an arm shellfor placing on the arm, at least one passive actuatorthat is configured to apply a force on the at least one arm support element, and at least one counter bearingfor the force to be applied. The counter bearing has at least one counter bearing elementand at least one force transmission elementthat is configured to transmit a counter-force to the counter bearing element. The freedom of movement of the spine of the useris not restricted by the device. More particularly an inclination is possible and/or a freedom of movement of the armis not restricted by the device.

Device for supporting at least one arm of a user

The invention relates a device for supporting two armsof a userwherein the device has

A prosthetic foot insert with upper attachment member, a roof spring extending forwards from the upper attachment means, and a base spring coupled to the roof spring at least two points. A rear coupling element is provided for supporting the base spring, and a free space is formed between the coupling element, the roof spring and the base spring. The base spring, in the heel area, protrudes rearwards as a free lever beyond the rear coupling element.

Prosthetic foot insert and prosthetic foot

A device with a wall () designed to tightly enclose a body part is made of an electrically non-conductive material () and has a shape adapted to the body part or adapting thereto as a result of the elasticity of the wall, wherein an inner face () of the wall () comes to bear on the skin () of the body part, and the inner face () is provided with at least one electrically conductive portion () which, in order to transmit electrical signals from or to the skin () of the body part, is arranged all the way through the electrically non-conductive material () of the wall (), permits reliable transmission of electrical signals with a simple design of the liner, by virtue of the fact the electrically conductive portion () is covered by the electrically non-conductive material () and is connected to at least one conductor (') passing through the electrically non-conductive material ().

Device with a wall designed to tightly enclose a body part

A prosthetic foot with a base spring with a forefoot area and a heel area, a connecting means arranged above the base spring and used to fasten the prosthetic foot to a prosthesis, and a frontal support, at the upper end of which the connecting means is arranged and which, at its lower end, is secured on a torsion element that can twist about the longitudinal axis of the prosthetic foot. The torsion element is designed as a leaf spring arrangement secured to the base spring at one end in the heel area or in the forefoot area.

Prosthetic foot

A valve arrangement includes a base part, having securing means for securing the valve arrangement to a place of use and an axially continuous bore with an inner wall, a valve insert part, which can be inserted with a stub into the bore, sealed by a seal with respect to the inner wall, and having at least one latching element with which the valve insert part can be latched in the inserted and sealed position by elastic engagement over a locking projection in the base part, and on which an actuating element is located for releasing and removing the valve insert part from the base part, and an adjustable valve element, which is mounted in a chamber of the valve insert part having a valve seat and with which a fluid connection all the way through the valve arrangement can be established or shut off.

Valve arrangement with a base part and an insert part

An artificial foot having a longitudinal axis extending from a heel area to a toe area, a length, a width and a height is provided. The artificial foot includes a connection to a lower leg part, an upper supporting structure in the direction of height, an elastic sole structure extending from the heel area to the toe area, an elastic connecting element arranged between the upper supporting structure and the sole structure, and a coupling system. The upper supporting structure is connected to the sole structure approximately in a middle of the foot with respect to its length by means of the coupling system. The coupling system allows a relative tilting motion between the upper supporting structure and the sole structure while keeping a distance between the upper supporting structure and the sole structure in a middle of the coupling system constant, at least while a patient places weight on it when standing.

Artificial foot

The present invention in one embodiment is a vacuum pump including a compressible elastomeric member with an internal reservoir enclosing a volume of fluid, an outlet port providing fluid communication between the internal reservoir and a fluid sink, and an inlet port providing fluid communication between the internal reservoir and a fluid source. The pump further includes first and second pressure elements coupled to the elastomeric member on opposing sides. At least one of the first and second pressure elements is adapted to apply a longitudinal force along, and a rotational force about, an axis extending through the compressible elastomeric member. Upon the application of a longitudinal compression force to the compressible elastomeric member, fluid flows from the internal reservoir to the fluid sink and upon the application of a longitudinal expansion force, fluid flows from the fluid source to the internal reservoir. Upon the application of a rotational force, the elastomeric member exerts a counter-rotational force.

Vacuum pump for a prosthetic device

The invention relates to an artificial foot with a connecting part for a lower leg part, a forefoot part which is pivotably connected to the connecting part by means of an upper coupling element and a lower coupling element in such a way that an angular position of the connecting part controls an angular position of the forefoot part, one of the coupling elements extending into a heel area of the foot.
