Abstract: Disclosed are a joint manipulation device and system for increasing the range of motion of a joint of a user, and monitoring the compliance of the user's operation of the joint manipulation device to standards or guidelines set by a monitoring entity. Certain sensors associated with the joint manipulation device may cause an indicator to transmit an alert to the user based on whether or not the device is sufficiently engaged with a limb or joint of the user to be considered in compliance. Additionally, progress data associated with the range of motion of the user's joint may be obtained by a sensor assembly and transmitted to one or more systems associated with the device system. Progress data obtained during a period of non-compliant use of the device may be excluded from the transmitted data, thereby generating a set of compliant progress data for accurate analysis of device effectiveness.

Abstract: A device performs a flexion process or an extension process with respect to a knee joint. The device includes a support frame extending in a longitudinal direction. A flexion system includes a foot support assembly configured to translate relative to the support frame in the longitudinal direction thereof and a flexion linear actuator configured to cause the translation of the foot support assembly. The extension system an extension pad assembly including a first expansion pad configured to engage an upper surface of the leg at a position above the knee joint and a second expansion pad configured to engage the upper surface of the leg at a position below the knee joint. An extension linear actuator is configured to translate the extension pad assembly with respect to the transverse direction. A power system is configured to selectively actuate each of the flexion linear actuator and the extension linear actuator.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to devices and methods for providing shoulder forward flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation stretch assistance. A device for manipulating an arm of a user, thereby providing abduction or flexion assistance to a shoulder of the user includes an engagement mechanism configured to operatively couple with the user's arm and configured to pivot about an axis defined by the gleno-humeral joint of the shoulder as the shoulder abducts or flexes; a scapular restriction mechanism restricts movement of a scapula of the user's shoulder during a first phase of abduction or flexion and to move in an anatomically correct ratio with gleno-humeral motion during a second phase of abduction or flexion; and a force application system operatively coupled with the engagement mechanism, and configured to apply a force to the engagement mechanism, providing the abduction or flexion assistance to the arm about the shoulder.
