A system for stretching the piriformis muscle may comprise a thigh strap, calf strap and one or more handles. A handle may be pulled to urge the piriformis muscle into a more elongated position. The thigh strap and calf strap may be of equal or unequal length. An optional knee void may be used for alignment purposes and may be found beneath a handle.

A leg stretching apparatus, which may comprise a harness operable with at least a portion of a user's leg. The leg stretching apparatus may further comprise a flexible section operable to couple with the harness. Additionally, the leg stretching apparatus may comprise a joint operable to couple to a structure fixed in at least on direction. The structure may provide an anchor sufficient to support a load in the at least one direction.

An upper body support assembly for use with an associated railed device having first and second rails is disclosed. The assembly includes first and second upper body supports capable of moving along the first and second rails, respectively. The upper body supports have at least one of: (i) first and second forearm supports, (ii) first and second hand grips, or (iii) a first forearm support and a first hand grip. An interconnecting member extends between and selectively connects both the first and second upper body supports to permit (i) interrelated movement therebetween when connected, and (ii) independent movement therebetween when disconnected. The assembly can achieve two point gait, three point gait, and four point gait movement.

The present invention provides a compact, wearable and portable self driven rehabilitation device which is cost effective, light weight, portable, easy to use and customizable to fit as needed. It provides real-time mirroring effect for better visual feedback.

A rehabilitation therapy aid (FIG. 4), for use in aiding a patient to regain and improve movement and control in a limb, comprises a moveable structure (51) having engagement means (53) whereby the structure can be moved by the limb of a patient (72) requiring therapy and separate engagement means (52) whereby the structure can be moved in the same direction by a therapist (71) or by the patient's stronger limb. A movement detector (56) is arranged so that the movement of the structure (51) can be tracked by the patient and/or by the therapist.

The present invention provides a leg rehabilitation exercise apparatus, which includes: a base; a seat arranged on the base; a leg exercise frame arranged on the base; an upper rotation-supporting member arranged on the leg exercise frame; a lower rotation-supporting member arranged on the leg exercise frame; a reciprocating motion section including a left lifting/lowering motion section, a right lifting/lowering motion section, an upper connection section, and a lower connection section; a left lifting/lowering member arranged on the left lifting/lowering motion section; and a right lifting/lowering member arranged on the right lifting/lowering motion section. The left lifting/lowering motion section and the right lifting/lowering motion section are operable to do lifting/lowering motions in opposite directions. The leg rehabilitation exercise apparatus of the present invention achieves an effective result of training quadriceps muscles of thighs and shanks and is also an operation safe device.

An orthopedic brace for supporting a shoulder and an arm of a patient can comprise a sleeve, a pad, a pillow, and a system of adjustable straps for positioning and securing the sleeve in a desired position for treatment. The pad can comprise a plurality of pockets for accepting hot or cold compresses therein for providing thermal therapy, and can be removable from the brace to be used in isolation along other parts of the body. The adjustable straps can be replaced with tensile straps, and the sleeve can be positioned along different points of the patient's body to allow the patient to conduct various patient driven exercises, including patient driven range of motion or strengthening exercises.

A portable mirror therapy device comprises a stiff divider panel attached to a base unit which supports the divider panel in an upright position to define two adjacent limb receiving spaces at opposite sides of the divider panel. A mirror is mounted on one face of the divider panel. A clamp, indicated generally by the reference numeral mounted at a lower end of the divider panel cooperates with an underside of the base unit for securing the base unit on a support such as a table or worktop. An exercise apparatus is mounted on the device and includes a limb engaging member, which in this case comprises a handle at a mirror side of the divider panel. The exercise apparatus is a resistance load training system and comprises a load cord extending from the handle to an associated resistance element mounted within a housing on an opposite side of the divider panel to the mirror.

An independent stretching device comprises a back brace configured to pass across and brace against a user's back. A first connector is secured to a first end of the lower back brace, and is threaded through a first pulley. A second connector is secured to a second end of the lower back brace on an opposite side of the user to the first end of the back brace, the second connector being threaded through a second pulley. A foot stirrup is provided for receiving a foot of the user, and has a first end connected to the first pulley and a second end connected to the second pulley. Tension applied to respective distal ends of the first and second connectors distal from the back brace creates tension which urges the foot stirrup and the back brace toward each other.

Disclosed is a postoperative functional exerciser for frozen shoulder. The exerciser includes a hand push rod (1) and a restrictive band (2) for restricting the elbow. The hand push rod (1) comprises a wristband (11) and a push rod (12). One end of the push rod (12) is connected with the wristband (11). When the hand push rod (1) and the restrictive band (2) are in operation, a part of the restrictive band (2) winds around the elbow joint of an affected arm, the other part winds around a waist buckle (3) at a waist portion of the restrictive band (2) on a side opposite to the affected arm, and the wristband (11) is sleeved on the wrist of the affected arm. The upper arm is tied to the body by means of the restrictive band (2).
