An inflatable bladder positioned a distance from a joint is attached to an external structural support which crosses the joint but does not support it. By inflating the bladder one limb segment is forced towards the external support thereby increasing the range of motion of that joint. Further, the inflatable bladder has an instant release valve which, when pressed, will instantly release the pressure within the bladder. The limb is positioned intermediate the bladder and the external structural support for optimal biomechanical efficiency.
Une vessie gonflable positionnée à une certain distance d'une articulation est fixée à un support structural interne qui traverse l'articulation mais ne la soutient pas. Lorsque la vessie est gonflée, un segment du membre est poussé de sorte qu'il se rapproche du support externe, ce qui augmente l'amplitude de mouvement de ladite articulation. Par ailleurs, la vessie gonflable est dotée d'une soupape de décharge instantanée qui décharge la pression dans la vessie. Le membre est placé entre la vessie et le support structural externe, si bien qu'une efficacité biomécanique optimale est assurée.
