Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of a neurovascular and physical rehabilitation device as shown in the drawings; the neurovascular and physical rehabilitation device has a base section and an upper section; the base section is generally symmetrical and has a flat upper surface that merges smoothly into downwardly extending leg portions each having smooth outwardly curved outer surfaces; the front and rear ends of each leg portion extend outwards beyond the upper surface of the base section with the front ends of the legs portions being smoothly curved and generally semi-circular in side view and the rear ends being angled downwards and rearwards in side view; the upper section of the neurovascular and physical rehabilitation device has a bottom portion that extends between the front ends of the leg portions of the base section; the bottom portion has a rounded front surface which conforms to the rounded front ends of the leg portions;In the open position, the upper section of the neurovascular and physical rehabilitation device extends upwards at an acute angle to the base section; the upper section has a front portion and a rear portion; the front portion merges smoothly into the bottom portion thereof; the sides of the front portion taper gradually inwards from the bottom portion to a generally straight upper edge with sharp corners between the tapered sides and the upper edge; the front portion has an airfoil-like shape in side view with the width thereof decreasing gradually from bottom to top; the front surface of the front portion has a generally rectangular control unit area with angled lower corners, slightly rounded upper corners, a central rectangular screen-like area, and a series of vertically aligned generally identical button-like projections adjacent the right side of the screen-like area; an oblong slightly raised area with a narrow slot therein is situated along the lower right side of the front portion; the rear portion is situated along the rear surface of the front portion and is spaced inwards from the sides and upper edge of the front portion; the rear portion generally follows the contour of the front portion in side view and has a smoothly curved rear surface; the upper area of the rear portion diverges away from the rear surface of the front portion and the upper end of the rear portion is slightly outwardly curved and has rounded corners in rear elevation view; the upper area of the rear portion has a lateral slot extending across most of the width of the rear portion; the slot opening has a slightly beveled edge and the lower edge of the slot merges into a forwards extending flat surface. In the closed position, the lower front portion of the upper section is situated between the leg portions of the base section and the upper front portion extends above and in alignment with the flatupper surface of the base portion. Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a front right perspective view of the neurovascular and physical rehabilitation device in an open position;Fig. 2 is a front elevation view thereof;Fig. 3 is a rear elevation view thereof;Fig. 4 is a left side elevation view thereof; andFig. 5 is a right side elevation view thereof;Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the neurovascular and physical rehabilitation device in a closed position;Fig. 7 is a front elevation view thereof in a closed position;Fig. 8 is a rear elevation view thereof in a closed position;Fig. 9 is a left side elevation view thereof in a closed position; andFig. 10 is a right side elevation view thereof in a closed position
