Abstract
An orthotic joint comprising a first member, a second member and an intermediate plastic member secured together by a pivot. The second member includes a cam follower affixed thereto. The first member and intermediate plastic member include first and second arcuate slots respectively. The first and second arcuate slots are aligned. The first and second members are rotatable with respect to each other. The cam follower protrudes through the second slot and into the first slot. The range of motion is determined by the length of the slot relative to the size of the cam follower.
