MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641095574 A) filed by Ronald Richard R; and Karthikeyan R on August 07, 2026, for Clubfoot Multi-Axis Adjustable Brace.
Inventors include Ronald Richard R; and Karthikeyan R.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a lightweight, polymer-based, multi-axis adjustable orthotic brace for the conservative correction and maintenance of Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV), commonly known as clubfoot. The invention provides a single mechanically integrated bracing system capable of performing both progressive deformity correction and maintenance throughout the treatment period. The brace comprises a Lower Leg Calf Support Member, Hindfoot Support Member, Forefoot Support Member and a plurality of interconnected adjustment links configured to provide precise correction and controlled adjustment of the principal clubfoot deformities, namely Cavus, Adductus, Varus and Equinus (CAVE). The orthotic brace incorporates independently adjustable mechanisms for abduction-adduction, flexion-extension, inversion-eversion, cavus correction, forefoot twist, forefoot rotation and linear growth accommodation. Indexed locking mechanisms, including Hirth coupling interfaces, enable repeatable angular adjustments while securely maintaining the selected correction position. The brace is fabricated from lightweight polymer-based materials and is configured to provide structural rigidity, patient comfort, growth accommodation and controlled force transmission. The invention reduces dependence on repeated serial casting and multiple orthotic devices by integrating corrective and maintenance functions into a reusable, growth-adjustable orthotic brace for conservative management of clubfoot.
