Patent

CA 2225448

To provide controlled amounts of resistance to movement in exercise equipment or in orthotic devices, a control module (16B) has cooperating resistance elements (30B). The force between the elements (30B) is varied in accordance with the position of the elements with respect to each other. For example the control module (16B) can connect two splints (26B, 28B) of a knee brace (10) so that the resistance to flexion and extension are programmed in accordance with the position of the leg and thigh with respect to each other.

Afin d'opposer des valeurs maîtrisées de résistance au mouvement développé dans un exerciseur ou dans une orthèse, un module de commande (16B) comporte des éléments (30B) coopérant pour opposer la résistance requise. La force exercée entre les éléments (30B) varie en fonction du positionnement de ces éléments l'un par rapport à l'autre. Ledit module de commande (16B) peut, par exemple, relier deux attelles (26B)(28B) d'une orthèse pour le genou (10) de manière à ce que la résistance à la flexion et à l'extension soit programmée en fonction de la position respective de la jambe et de la cuisse, l'une par rapport à l'autre.
