ABSTRACT:
A knee and elbow orthosis has a frame comprised of an upper pair of arms and a lower pair of arms with a pivotal connection therebetween. U-shaped brackets are attached to the outer ends of the upper pair of arms and the lower pair of arms to provide for connection to the limbs of a patient adjacent the joint being treated. The pivotal connection between the upper and lower pair of arms includes stop elements for variably limiting the range of pivotal motion between the upper and lower pair of arms. A lock element operatively connected to both pair of arms can selectively lock the arms in a fixed orientation with respect to each other.
