Patent ID: 10271983

Abstract:
An ankle foot orthopaedic device (56) includes a first part (58) for association with a leg engaging item (72), a second part (60) for association with a foot engaging item (86) and a connector (62) for connecting the first part (58) to the second part (60). The connector (62) includes a first adjuster (66), which, in an adjustment condition, permits a first adjustment relative movement of the first part (58) and the second part (60) around a first device axis (150) of rotation. The connector (62) includes a second adjuster (64), which, in an adjustment condition, permits a second adjustment relative movement of the first part (58) and the second part (60) around a second device axis (144) of rotation. In use in a fitted condition in which the device (56) is fitted to a user's leg and foot, the first device axis (150) substantially corresponds with a dominant anatomical axis (50) of rotation of the sub talar joint and the second device axis (144) substantially corresponds with a dominant anatomical axis (44) of rotation of the tibio-talar joint.
