- 17 - A B S T R A C T The knee orthesis appliance is made of carbon-fibre composite material with an integral Menshik linkover four bar chain (21) made of titanium. It provides the knee joint with secure and reliable support. Owing to its low weight, it is extremely comfortable to wear. The angle of bend (22) can be adjusted to suit the individual as prescribed by the doctor. The shells of the appliance are made from a positive plaster cast (1), using vacuum composite production techniques. This simple process enables the appliance to be manufactured to a high standard of quality in orthopaedic workshops. The joint plates (5,6) are inserted between the individual layers of the composite. Following filling and curing, the sidepieces (16,17) only have to be riveted to the joint plates to complete the four bar chains and hence the finished appliance. (Fig. 1)
