ABSTRACT:
An improved hinge design for an articulating knee brace utilizing nested spherical hinge cups to accurately mimic the actual movement of the human knee. The movements of flexion/extension, rotation, abduction/adduction, and rollback and glide are tracked by the brace during knee movement through the use of slots and rivets to manipulate the relationship between upper and lower brace structures to support the knee in its natural positions.
