Abstract
A hip orthosis having an upper brace portion for mounting on the pelvic area of a patient and a lower brace portion for mounting on the thigh area of a patient has an interconnecting orthopedic hinge assembly with a housing member having a support surface with a first abutment member and an abductor member movably mounted on the housing member and having a second abutment member to operatively contact the first abutment member, to limit the relative movement of the abductor member in a first rotational direction. The worm gear stop member is rotatably mounted within the housing member and includes a third abutment member to operatively contact the first abutment member to limit the relative movement of the abductor member in a second rotational direction. An adjusting screw member is integrally journalled within the housing member for adjusting the rotatable position of the stop member to define the extent of flexion and extension of the abductor member.
