A leg rehabilitation apparatus for neurological disease is capable of rehabilitating a diseased muscle around a foot of a neurological patient through muscle elevation stretching and eversion/inversion stretching. The apparatus includes a base frame for supporting a patient; a first plate installed to the base frame and having a structure such that the first plate is shaft rotatable to lift up a part of a toe; a second plate installed inside the first plate having a rotatable structure to enable a sole of the patient to perform inversion and eversion movements and to allow a side surface of the sole to move up and down; a driving unit for driving the first and second plates; a power transfer unit for transferring power of the driving unit to the first and second plates; and a control unit for controlling the driving unit (A) to stretch an ankle and the sole.

Described is an exercise tool. More particularly, it is a therapy and exercise tool specifically devised as a foot-therapy and toe-aligning device to align, separate, and stretch toes. The foot-therapy and toe-aligning device comprises a frame with a plurality of posts connected with the frame. The device is formed of an elastic material such that a user may place at least one of the plurality of posts between a user's toes and pull the post to stretch and elongate the post between the toes. Upon release, the elastic material of the post causes the post to attempt to return to its original shape, thereby causing it to expand out and conform its shape to fit snugly against the user's toes. Additionally, the elastic material allows the toe posts to be positioned and maintained at numerous locations between the user's toes for customizable positioning between the toes.

An intermetatarsal space vibrator for vibrating the regions of the bottom of an individual's forefoot underlying the intermetatarsal spaces includes a flexible sleeve that fits over the end of the individual's foot. The sleeve's bottom portion has an interior facing side which contacts the transverse arch area of the bottom of the individual's forefoot, and a top portion that contacts the top of the individual's foot opposite the bottom portion of the sleeve. The intermetatarsal space vibrator also includes vibration units, each of which is embedded in the bottom portion of the flexible sleeve in a location that is under a different one of the intermetatarsal spaces. The vibration units produce vibrations that stimulate the intermetatarsal nerve and other tissues disposed within the associated intermetatarsal space. The intermetatarsal space vibrator can also include a heating and cooling element that heats or cools the transverse arch area of the individual's foot.

A therapeutic footwear device used to stretch the muscles of the foot to assist with correcting and rehabilitating deformities and pain conditions in the feet, legs, and back of the user. The device includes a rigid base which supports the user's foot, straps that spread the user's toes, and inserts and contours that elevate the user's toes to assist in stretch during rest, during exercise performance, and during medical treatment.

An apparatus applies traction to a big toe of a patient's foot at a desired adduction angle and a desired dorsiflexion angle, for use in treating a bunion. The apparatus includes: a shoe portion (e.g., a sole, and strap(s)); a toe attachment apparatus (e.g., a Chinese finger trap) having a cable extending therefrom; and an apparatus (e.g., a ratchet, an actuator, and the like) configured to apply tension to the cable with respect to the sole. A support bracket is configured to pivot with respect to the shoe portion to adjust the adduction angle of the cable with respect to an axial direction of the sole, and is further configured to extend upwardly to at an elevated position with respect to the sole. An adjustment member is mounted to slide relative to the support bracket, to adjust the dorsiflexion angle provided by the cable independent of the adduction angle.

A foot stretcher assembly for stretching a foot includes a foot stretcher and a handle removably secured with the foot stretcher. The foot stretcher includes a sole that is flexible in response to receiving a foot. The foot stretcher assembly can also include a securing feature to maintain the foot relative to the foot stretcher.

An orthopedic device positions the foot with respect to surfaces to manipulate the foot and, optionally, the ankle and lower leg for stretching and strengthening of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. The device includes a base to provide support for the device against a surface. The device also includes a first portion having a first surface shaped to complement a heel of the foot, with the heel against the first surface; a second portion having a second surface shaped to position a forefoot of the foot in plantar flexion with the forefoot against the second surface; and a third portion having a third surface shaped to position toes of the foot in extension with the toes against the third surface.

Embodiments may include a traction system, for example a cervical traction system for a neck of a user. Systems may include a housing assembly, plate assembly, handle assembly, and cable assembly. The housing assembly may include a drive assembly. The plate assembly may be operatively connected to the drive assembly. The handle assembly may be operatively connected to the drive assembly. The handle assembly may be configured to actuate movement of the plate assembly relative to the housing assembly. Embodiments may be configured to apply traction to the neck thereby providing a distraction distance or force to a portion of the cervical spine.
