Combination pro/supination and flexion therapeutic mobilization device
First Claim
1. A therapeutic mobilization device for use with a patient comprising:
- a flexion assembly having an arm attachment means and an elbow actuator having an elbow axes of rotation;
a pronation/supination assembly operably attached to the flexion assembly, the pronation/supination assembly having a distal forearm attachment means and a pronation/supination actuator operably connected thereto; and
a valgus carrying angle compensation device operably attached between the flexion assembly and the pronation/supination assembly whereby the valgus carrying compensation device compensates for misalignment of the patient in the device, thereby reducing stresses during use.

Abstract
A therapeutic mobilization device is disclosed. The device includes a flexion assembly, a pro/supination assembly and a valgus carrying angle compensation device. The flexion assembly has an arm attachment assembly and an elbow actuator and the elbow actuator defines and axes of rotation. The pro/supination assembly is attached to flexion assembly and has a distal forearm attachment assembly and a pro/supination actuator operably connected thereto. The valgus carrying angle compensation device is operably attached to the flexion assembly and the pro/supination assembly. Preferably the pro/supination assembly is slidably mounted on a housing shaft whereby during flexion the pro/supination assembly is free to move along the housing shaft. Further, preferably the arm attachment assembly includes an attachment ring and an adjustable clamp pivotally attached thereto whereby the attachment ring defines a pro/supination axis and the adjustable clamp pivots orthogonally to the pro/supination axis.

18. A therapeutic mobilization device for use with a patient comprising:
-
an arm attachment means; a distal forearm attachment means; a valgus carrying angle compensation device connected between the arm attachment means and the distal forearm attachment means whereby the valgus carrying compensation device compensates for misalignment of the patient in the device, thereby reducing distraction and compression forces during use; and an elbow actuator operably connected to the arm attachment means and the distal forearm attachment means whereby movement of the actuator causes the user to move through elbow flexion. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
