First Claim
1. A device for flexing tissue about a joint of an arm of a wearer, the device comprising:
- a first arm member including a first extension member;
a sliding contact surface configured to couple to a first arm portion of the wearer and configured to translate along the first arm member;
a second arm member including a second extension, the second arm member configured to couple to a second arm portion of the wearer; and
a drive assembly coupled to the first and second arm members and configured to move the first arm member in an arcuate path.

Abstract
The present 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 arm member affixable to the first body portion and including a first extension member extending therefrom. A second arm 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.
