A device for increasing the range of motion of a patient's knee joint comprising of a longitudinal track frame, having a sitting platform at one end and a movable leg and foot platform at the other end, driven back and forth by a foot actuation mechanism in a flexion-extension motion, linearly along the longitudinal track by an electronically controlled motor in accordance with user defined settings and operable in a passive, active or resistive mode in either a supine or sitting position.

A knee rehabilitation exercise device with a right and left leg brace, a rear knee strap, an upper leg strap assembly, a lower leg strap assembly, a portable rear brace assembly and an elastic resistance band. The left and right leg brace members are each comprised of an upper member and a lower member rotatably pinned together at the area of the knee joint. The left and right leg braces are attached to the upper and lower leg strap assembly. The rear knee strap is attached to the left and right leg braces at the knee joint. When a user places the elastic band onto L hooks mounted on the upper and lower strap assembly and the rear brace assembly is placed between the rear of the user's knee and the elastic band, a resistive stretching is caused when the user straightens his leg which exercises and strengthens the user's leg muscles in the area of the knee joint.

A knee rehabilitation device is provided which can be used in various stages of knee rehabilitation to facilitate a full range of knee motion and promote joint flexibility following a knee impairment. The device, which can be can be used by a patient with or without the aid of medical personnel, is simple to use, compact, and is highly adjustable to accommodate different therapy regimens, and different leg sizes. To achieve maximum stretch of affected tissues of a pathologic joint, the device can be used without the need of lower extremity muscle involvement. A first embodiment device is machined or cast from a lightweight structural metal, such as titanium, aluminum or magnesium.

A rehabilitation device that has a foot support with a width that substantially covers the arch of a patient's foot. The foot support has a closure system that allows the support to snugly receive and support the foot. The device has at least one strap detachably attached to the foot support, the strap comprising a fastener to allow a loop to be formed in the length of the strap. The device is operated by pulling the foot toward the knee to increase range of motion after knee injury.

A device for exercising leg muscles, ligaments, and tendons attendant to movement of a human knee following knee replacement surgery or during rehabilitation following knee injury is provided. The user lies supine on a flat surface and braces the back of his or her upper thigh against the device's leg support bar, so that the user's upper thigh is approximately perpendicular to the user's upper torso. The patient maintains this position and exercises the knee by extending and flexing his or her lower leg. Some embodiments include an elastic band that attaches to the device in a position that limits the degree of leg flexion to within a desired range. Some embodiments include an ankle strap attached to a cord, which may be used to build quadriceps strength through application of resistance, and/or for applying downward pulling force to the lower leg during passive range-of-motion exercising.

A device for rehabilitating a knee after knee surgery includes a support adapted to support the leg at the popliteal fossa while allowing the knee to be bent about the support with little interference from the support. A method of knee rehabilitation includes the step of supporting the patient's leg on the support and allowing the patient to control to movement in order to overcome muscle guarding. The support is carried by uprights that are spaced apart far enough to allow the patient to be positioned on his back between the uprights with the knee to be rehabilitated disposed over the support and the other leg stretched straight under the support.

In one example, a rehabilitation device includes a first element having first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. A second element is rotatably coupled to the first element and includes first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. One of the first and second elements is angularly adjustable relative to the other. A measurement device includes a measurement element connected to one of the first and second elements and configured for rotation relative to one of the first and second elements, such that when the rehabilitation device is operably disposed with respect to a joint of a patient, the measurement element is arranged for contact with anatomy of the patient. Finally, a scale is disposed proximate the measurement element and indicates a position of the measurement element relative to another portion of the rehabilitation device.

The invention relates to the field of medical rehabilitation equipment, and specifically discloses knee rehabilitation exercise assistant equipment for orthopaedic use. The knee rehabilitation exercise assistant equipment for the orthopaedic use comprises a base, self-locking casters, a support seat plate, a buttock pad, a thigh pad and a leg-lifting mechanism; the support seat plate is fixedly arranged above one side of the base; the buttock pad is arranged on the upper surface of the support seat plate; the thigh pad is further arranged above one side of the support seat plate; a height adjustment mechanism is arranged, on the same side with the thigh pad, under the support seat plate, and is used for adjusting height of the thigh pad in the vertical direction; and the leg-lifting mechanism is installed above the other side of the base so as to be used for lifting the shin of a patient. By continuously lifting up and putting down the leg of a patient through the leg-lifting mechanism, the knee rehabilitation exercise assistant equipment for the orthopaedic use is capable of realizing repeated bending and straightening of the knee joints without exertion of any force by the patient, thereby allowing effective rehabilitation exercises of the knee joints of the patient; moreover, leg-lifting angle of the leg-lifting mechanism is adjustable, so that, the knee rehabilitation exercise assistant equipment is flexible to use.

A knee rehabilitation exercise device comprised of a right and left leg brace, a rear knee strap, an upper leg strap assembly, a lower leg strap assembly, a portable rear brace assembly and an elastic resistance band. The left and right leg brace members are each comprised of an upper member and a lower member rotatably pinned together at the area of the knee joint. The left and right leg braces are attached to the upper and lower leg strap assembly. The rear knee strap is attached to the left and right leg braces at the knee joint. When a user places the elastic band onto L hooks mounted on the upper and lower strap assembly and the rear brace assembly is placed between the rear of the user's knee and the elastic band, a resistive stretching is caused when the user straightens his leg which exercises and strengthens the user's leg muscles in the area of the knee joint.

The described knee rehabilitation device can include any suitable component. In some implementations, however, it includes a sitting surface that is configured to support a user; a knee arm that comprises a leg coupling mechanism, that is pivotally coupled to the rehabilitation device, and that is configured to pivot through a range of motion; and a drive mechanism that is configured to force the knee arm through the range of motion. In some cases, the drive mechanism includes a first hard stop that prevents the knee arm from extending past a first set point, and the drive mechanism further includes a second hard stop that prevents the knee arm from being retracted past a second set point. In some cases, the device is further configured to be programmed to electronically limit the knee arm's range of motion. Other implementations are discussed.
