Abstract
The present invention provides an orthosis for stretching tissue around a joint of a patient between first and second relatively pivotable body portions. The orthosis includes a first member affixable to the first body portion and including a first extension member extending therefrom. A second member affixable to the second body portion is also included and has a second extension member having an arcuate shape extending therefrom. The second extension member is operatively connected to the first extension member and travels through the first extension member along an arcuate path when the second arm member is moved from a first position to a second position relative to the first arm member.

-
a first member affixable to the foot and including a first extension member; and a second member affixable to the toe and including a second extension member comprising an arcuate shaped surface extending therefrom, wherein the second extension member is operatively connected to the first extension member so that relative movement between the first and second members is determined by movement along the arcuate shaped surface.
