Abstract

The invention relates to an orthopedic joint for a prosthesis, comprising an upper part (10), a lower part (20) which is mounted on the upper part in a pivotal manner about a pivot axis (12), and a rotation hydraulic unit (30), which has a housing (31) with a chamber (32) and a pivot piston (33) that is pivotally mounted in the chamber and divides the chamber (32) into a flexion chamber (34) and an extension chamber (35), said chambers being hydraulically connected together via at least one channel (36). The joint also comprises a pretensioning device (40) which supports a pivoting movement ofthe upper part (10) relative to the lower part (20), wherein the pretensioning device (40) is coupled directly to the pivot piston (33) via a support (41).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technical orthopedic joint with an upper part, a lower part mounted on the upper part so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis, and a hydraulic swivel device with a swivel housing with a swivel housing. chamber and a oscillating piston swingably supported in the chamber, the oscillating piston divides the chamber into a flexion chamber and an extension chamber, the two chambers are hydraulically connected to each other via at least one channel, and the joint has a predetermined A tensioning device supports the swinging movement of the upper part relative to the lower part. Background technique [0002] Orthopedic joints for orthopedic devices, such as orthoses or external prostheses, serve to articulately connect the upper part to the lower part. A swivel axis is formed between the upper part and the lower part, which has a fixed assignment to the upper part and the lower part in a monocentric joint, and in a polycentric joi...
