ABSTRACT:
The instant invention is a dynamic exoskeletal orthosis apparatus that operates as an adjustable protective brace for the protection and rehabilitation of joints. The instant invention provides protection to a joint with provisions to allow for the graduated increase in range of motion in one, two or more planes while limiting or allowing free motion in the remainder of the planes. The device allows the protection, mobilization, and stabilization of an injured joint or limb without the necessity of changing the device or utilizing multiple orthotic devices. The device is especially suitable for use in sports by providing a device that allows for a full range of movement, yet protects against impact as well as prohibits movement into positions that may lead to injury.
