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 lower limb therapy device having a support base and a pulley system. The support base includes a platform member fixably mounted on top of a slider and a heel panel positioned behind the platform member. The heel panel, which sits orthogonally relative to the platform member, is attached to the slider so as to extend from the rear end of the slider. The pulley system defines a closed force transfer system that is integrated with the support base. The pulley system employs a cord member, a support member, a cross member, and two handles and is configured to transfer force applied behind the heel panel to the platform member as well as force applied above a user's foot that is positioned on top of the platform member to the platform member.

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.

The present invention provides a therapeutic active-motion apparatus that increases Joint-Electricity for improving the active motion of affected shoulder. It is comprised of a straight-arm section, one or more than one arm-fixing strap, a hand-position section, and one or more than one force-applying-interface section, for applying a force toward the affected shoulder joint during the training of active motion to actualize the therapeutic mechanism based on Joint-Electricity Theory, and its application theory Using the Favorable Component of Joint-Electricity-Generation as the favorable component in motion therapy. The affected shoulders those with limitation in range of motion and shoulder pains use the present invention can achieve the effects including at least the increase in range of motion that is measurable, and reduction in the shoulder pains.

A wearable anchor having a support base, a locking mechanism, and a securing strap and which can be used to mechanically fix a therapy device a desired position relative to a user while performing desired therapy motions. The support base defines an arcuate body suitable to be placed against the thigh of the user, with the securing strap operating to hold it against the user's thigh. The locking mechanism employs a pair of slots positioned above the support base. In this regard, the locking mechanism provides a securing structure to which the cords can be fastened to, thereby allowing the therapy device to be fixed in place without requiring that the user manually hold the therapy device in place. As such, the user can more easily perform therapy motions which require the that the therapy device be held in place, such as static progressive stretch therapy motions.

A knee extender device includes a central connecting portion, and a first support leg and a second support leg that each extend downwardly from the central connecting portion and that are positioned at an angle relative to each other. A terminal portion is attached to each support leg, with each terminal portion configured to be positioned against an upper leg or a lower leg of an individual. In use, as part of a method of rehabilitating a knee joint of an individual, the device is applied to a leg of the individual adjacent to and over the knee joint, and a cord or belt is extended over at least part of the central connecting portion and around a foot of the individual. Upon applying tension to the cord or belt, the knee extender device is then pushed downward to thereby extend the knee of the individual.

An upper limb rehabilitation support device includes a first handle that is connected with a first rotating shaft, gripped by a trainee's right hand and rotated, a second handle that is connected with a second rotating shaft, gripped by a trainee's left hand and rotated, a connecting part structured so as to connect the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft with each other and interlock rotations of the first handle and the second handle, and a switching part structured so as to switch directions of the rotations of the first handle and the second handle, which are interlocked by the connecting part, with respect to the other handles when one of the first handle and the second handle rotates.

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.

A device for rehabilitating or strengthening the ankle includes a plank that is connected by a transversely oriented hinge and a longitudinally oriented pivot, as well as a pair of compression springs at its forward end. The connections of the plank to the underlying base limit the plank to motion in two directions about two axes, thereby providing four types of therapeutic ranges of motion, including dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, eversion and inversion. A transversely slidable foot rest enables the user to hold device 21 in position with one foot while using the plank of the device to rehabilitate the other foot.

A walker for an animal can include a body support assembly configured to provide support for a torso of the animal. A rear portion of the body support assembly can be configured to allow motion of rear legs of the animal on a surface. The walker can further include a front support assembly coupled to a front portion of the body support assembly, and configured to allow front legs of the animal to rest thereon such that the front legs are held away from the surface. The walker can further include a leg assembly coupled to the body support assembly, and configured to provide support for the animal in place of the front legs, and to facilitate motion of the animal on the surface based on the motion of the rear legs.
