20100241037 | CONTINUOUS PASSIVE MOTION DEVICE FOR A TOE - A continuous passive motion device for providing oscillatory motion of a patient's foot to mobilize the patient's toe through a variable range of orientations about a pivot axis. The device may include a foot base having one or more hinged toe plates pivotably attached to the foot base. The foot base may be attached to a support assembly such that the foot base may be pivoted about a horizontal axis. A drive motor may be connected to the support assembly to continuously oscillate the foot plate up and down through a predetermined range of angles about the horizontal axis. The hinged top plate may be attached to the support assembly such that rotation of the foot plate will cause the toe plate to hinge in the opposite direction of the rotation of the foot and resulting in the patient's toe being oscillated through a range of flexion and extension. This range of angles of motion for the toe will be a function of the range of motion of the footplate. | 09-23-2010 |
