Abstract: The present invention relates to a rehabilitation exercise aid. The exercise aid includes an actuator for extending from a first body part. An alarm unit can be fastened to a second body part and coupled to the actuator. The alarm unit is configured to generate an alarm when the first body part moves beyond a target relative to the second body part. In one embodiment, the actuator includes an elongate biasing means for biasing the alarm unit toward the first body part.
Abstract: A removable spat may be used with a shoe having a sole and an upper. The spat includes a boot portion having a back opening and a front end, and a sleeve connected to the boot portion. The back opening of the boot portion is adapted to receive the shoe therein. The sleeve has a fixed end connected to the front end of the boot portion and a free end opposite the fixed end. The sleeve extends freely from the front end to define a first sleeve position, and the sleeve is foldable over the boot portion to define a second sleeve position.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ankle orthosis comprising a U-shaped support stirrup made of a flexible material, the sides of which stirrup converge beneath the foot in a web projecting as a tab toward the metatarsus, extend past the bones, and are held together at their end regions by a fastening strap wrapping around the leg. The tab has a convexity, which presses against the cuboid bone of the foot due to a preloading of the tab.
