    Abstract: An orthotic apparatus for use in providing improved range of motion is provided which allows the amount of stretch to be hydraulically powered and measured by the device, but controlled by the user. Because the apparatus accurately calculates the amount of stretch, the user, together with the user's physician and therapist, can develop a rehabilitation plan based on accurate measurements. Progress is based on tangible results rather than the user's ability to tolerate pain. This knowledge provides the incentive the user needs to work toward and achieve the user's goal.

    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to apparatuses and methods for evaluating the amount of “play” in a joint. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided that quantifies the rotation of the tibia in response to a known torque. The apparatus is configured to minimize the influence of other joints on the rotation analysis. Other embodiments provide data related to movement of the tibia in other degrees of freedom.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to the manipulation of a joint to provide therapy. More specifically, some embodiments of the present invention use inflatable members and a three point bending concept to cause flexion in a toe joint for the purpose of increasing the range of motion of the toe joint. In one embodiment, a user's foot is placed in a frame with at least one toe atop a toe bar. An inflatable member is positioned atop the user's foot and held in position with a strap attached relative to the frame. As the inflatable member is inflated, the strap increases in tension urging the toe toward the toe bar and causing actuation of the joint at the base of the toe.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for manipulating a shoulder joint, by independently manipulating the upper arm in two directions. One direction is “longitudinal”, wherein the upper arm moves substantially along its longitudinal axis. The second is “lateral”, in which the upper arm moves laterally from a first to a second position, with the second position being spaced apart from the first and such that the longitudinal axes of the upper arm in the two positions are substantially parallel. The apparatus is adjustable, but includes two parts stationary during use; an elongate yet platelike “upper arm supporting plate” configured to be situated under the upper arm of the patient (extending proximate the armpit and extending proximate the elbow) and an elongate “forearm member” configured to be positioned proximate the forearm of the user when the user's arm is in position bent approximately 90 degrees. Two other elements cause controlled movement of the arm relative to the structure so the surgeon may perform the desired procedure. These inflatable bladders may be selectively inflated or deflated to provide a desired effect. These can be referenced as an “upper arm bladder” and a “forearm bladder”, although they may be also referenced as first and second bladders, although not necessarily in that order. By inflating the upper arm bladder, the upper arm is moved away from the upper arm supporting plate, causing perpendicular (a.k.a., “lateral”) force to occur to elevate the humerus perpendicularly from the glenoid to allow good clean glenoid work.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及通过在两个方向独立地操纵上臂来操纵肩关节的方法和装置。 一个方向是“纵向”，其中上臂基本上沿其纵向轴线移动。 第二是“横向”，其中上臂从第一位置横向移动到第二位置，其中第二位置与第一位置间隔开，并且使得上臂在两个位置中的纵向轴线基本上平行。 该设备是可调节的，但包括使用中静止的两个部件; 被配置为位于患者的上臂下方（在腋窝附近延伸并且靠近肘部延伸）的细长但平板状的“上臂支撑板”）和细长的“前臂构件”，其配置成邻近使用者的前臂定位， 用户的手臂位置弯曲大约90度。 另外两个元件引起臂相对于结构的受控运动，因此外科医生可以执行所需的程序。 这些充气气囊可以选择性地膨胀或放气以提供期望的效果。 这些可以被称为“上臂膀胱”和“前臂膀胱”，尽管它们也可以被称为第一和第二囊，尽管不一定按照该顺序。 通过使上臂囊膨胀，上臂离开上臂支撑板移动，引起垂直（即“侧向”）力从肱骨垂直地升高肱骨，以允许良好的清洁关节盂工作。
