Abstract: A system for promoting knee flexion may comprise a support bar and a plurality of pads removably mounted thereto, such that sequential use of the plurality of pads may progressively allow a knee joint to move through an increased range of motion.
Abstract: Knee joint flexibility rehabilitation apparatuses and methods specifically adapted for knee joint flexibility rehabilitation following knee joint surgery or other type of knee joint treatment are described. In some embodiments, a knee joint flexibility apparatus may include a padded knee posterior support bar disposed atop an adjustable rod and collaborating strut tube. Apparatuses and methods herein may be used to promote gravity passive flexion specific towards gradual knee joint muscle and tendon stretching.
Abstract: A system for monitoring use of knee joint flexibility rehabilitation apparatus comprises a knee joint flexibility rehabilitation apparatus, a sensor and a monitor configured to receive and display a signal from the sensor.
Abstract: A knee joint flexibility rehabilitation apparatus having a tubular strut with a support foot and a bracket, a height-adjustment bar translatably and rotatably disposed in the tubular strut, and a padded support bar fixed substantially perpendicularly to the height-adjustment bar, the padded support bar being configured to receive a knee joint posterior.
