Patent ID: 8771210

Claim:
A multi-fit orthotic system using a textile-based suspension, the system comprising: a plurality of orthotic structures comprising a linearly-aligned configuration and a non-linearly aligned configuration adapted to accommodate subjects with a non-linear leg structure; a plurality of independent suspension textiles, each coupled with one of the plurality of orthotic structures, wherein each independent suspension textile conforms closely to a subject to accommodate a wide range of subjects without a custom fit; a plurality of independent tensioning systems including a cable reel tensioning system, each of the independent tensioning systems integrated into one of the plurality of independent suspension textiles, each of the independent tensioning systems configured to adjustably apply tension to the associated suspension textile to affect fit of the multi-fit orthotic system to the subject, wherein the multi-fit orthotic system is configured to attach directly to the subject to provide assistance to the subject including one or more of active mobility assistance, continuous passive motion and robotic therapy; and an actuator integrated with at least one of the plurality of orthotic structures and configured to deliver torque to the plurality of orthotic structures in the linearly aligned or non-linearly aligned configurations.
