Abstract: Apparatus for passive articular mobilization of a foot includes a sole element mounted on a base for articulation about three independent orthogonal axes including a varus-valgus axis extending generally perpendicular to the base, a flexion axis, an abduction-adduction axis intersecting both the varus-valgus and flexion axes and extending generally parallel to the base. A single reversible drive motor is mounted on the base and is attached to the sole element by a transmission system including levers for reversibly moving the sole element selectively and simultaneously about the three orthogonal axes in response to motor actuation. The transmission system includes a movable carriage that can be driven rectilinearly or rotatably relative to the base. The effective length of the levers is adjustable so that, upon actuation of the motor, the sole element can be adjusted to a desired corrective position.

Abstract: An apparatus for re-educating the finger joints of a hand. The hand is rested on a support at a finger joint and an articulated segment of a finger is engaged by the apparatus. Portions of the apparatus move so that the finger tips of the engaged fingers are moved in a spiral path toward the palm using the support as a fulcrum. This spiral motion is performed by a single, motor-driven slide-guide to which one or more of the articulated segments are engaged.

Abstract: The present invention relates to orthopaedic equipment, and particularly a splint, comprising an articulated assembly associated with a drive member for provoking the relative angular displacement, on the one hand, between articulated sections constituting the assembly and, on the other hand, between said assembly and a support frame, at least one of the sections being extended by a frame supporting an independent traction equipment comprising a traction member, a traction circuit and a traction stirrup. The invention is more particularly applicable to the reeducation of lower limbs.
