CA 2583077

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.

L'invention porte sur un sac gonflable situé à une certaine distance d'une articulation. Ce sac est fixé à une structure externe de soutien qui passe par l'articulation, mais ne la soutient pas. En gonflant le sac, le membre est poussé vers la structure de soutien externe, ce qui augmente l'ampleur du mouvement de l'articulation. En outre, le sac gonflable présente une valve de vidange instantanée qui, lorsqu'elle est comprimée, élimine instantanément la pression exercée dans le sac. Le membre est placé entre le sac et la structure de soutien externe pour qu'une efficacité biomécanique optimale soit obtenue.
