1. A continuous passive motion orthosis device for a toe of a foot, said device comprising:
- mounting means including a surface for receiving the foot;
a carriage member positioned proximate the mounting means having a first end for receiving a toe and a second end, the first end of the carriage member including a surface for receiving the toe; and
drive means for oscillating said first end of said carriage member about said second end thereof with respect to said mounting means to thereby move the toe between a neutral position wherein said surfaces are generally parallel, an extension position wherein said surface of said carriage member is positioned on one side of said surface of said mounting means and a flexion position wherein said surface of said carriage member is positioned on another side of said surface of said mounting means.

Abstract
A continuous passive motion orthosis device for a toe of a foot including a base having first and second mounting members for receiving the calf and foot, respectively. A pivotable carriage member is positioned proximate the second mounting member and has a first end for receiving the toe and a second end. A drive mechanism is interconnected between the second end of the carriage member and the base for oscillating the first end of the carriage member about its second end with respect to the second mounting member to thereby move the toe between dorsiflexion and plantar flexion.

2. A continuous passive motion orthosis device for a toe of a foot, the foot having a first end connected to the toe and a second end connected to a calf, the first end of the foot being pivotably connected to the toe to form a joint such that the toe is pivotable with respect to the foot about a joint pivot axis, said device comprising:
-
a base having a proximal end and a distal end; a first mounting member secured to said base for receiving the calf; a second mounting member secured to said distal end of said base for receiving the foot; a carriage member positioned proximate said second mounting member having a first end for receiving the toe and a second end; drive means for oscillating said first end of said carriage member about said second end thereof with respect to said second mounting member to thereby move the toe between dorsiflexion and plantar flexion. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10)
