A hinge assembly for a knee brace includes a screw seat, a screw seat
gear, an adjustment screw, a condyle engagement member, and an adjustment
actuator gear. The screw seat has a bore with an internal thread. The
screw seat gear is positioned at an end of the screw seat and the screw
seat rotates in response to rotation of the screw seat gear. The
adjustment actuator gear engages the screw seat gear and the screw seat
gear rotates in response to rotation of the adjustment actuator gear. The
adjustment screw has an external thread that is threaded into the
internal thread of the screw seat, thereby enabling outward or inward
telescoping of the adjustment screw within the bore in response to
rotation of the adjustment actuator gear. The adjustment screw is
connected to the condyle engagement member, thereby enabling proximal
displacement of the condyle engagement member in response to outward
telescoping of the adjustment screw and enabling distal displacement of
the condyle engagement member in response to inward telescoping of the
adjustment screw.
