Patent ID: 8821420

Claim:
A method of restoring functions of a user's limb via contacting of the user's limb and grasping an underlying fascia tissue and stretching of the underlying fascia tissue between the grasping portion and a distal portion of the user's limb, the steps comprising: forming a cuff having a proximal and distal portion and having a liner and a passage of a size sufficient to allow insertion of the user's limb; and forming a gripping surface with said liner which is capable of contacting and frictionally holding with the user's limb; and forming one or more supports extending and attached with said cuff; and inserting the user's limb through said cuff and liner; and compressing said cuff around the user's limb and gripping a portion of a skin of the limb with the limb distal portion extending from said cuff and thereby grasping the underlying fascia tissue; and placing one or more of said supports upon a surface in a manner which will allow any distal portion of the user's limb extending from said cuff to rotate; and applying a distal force to said cuff via said cuff gripping the skin and fascia with the user's limb; and rotating any distal portion of the user's limb extending through said cuff and liner and stretching the underlying fascia tissue.
