Abstract:
Disclosed is a therapeutic stretching apparatus, which in particular provides a user with a system for providing an assist to increase knee extension as well as for maintaining stability of the knee after surgery. This device can not only act as a therapeutic stretching apparatus but also can act as a primary post-op knee brace with locks/limits on hinge to prevent user from further injuring the joint.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of therapeutic treatment of a knee comprising the steps of:\n providing a therapeutic device for use on a length of a leg of a user having a proximal framework portion configured for attachment relative to an upper portion of the leg, a distal framework portion configured for attachment relative to a lower portion of the leg, proximal and distal securing members for securing the proximal and distal framework to the respective upper and lower leg portions, a bridge connected to the proximal framework, an extension assistor operatively connected to the proximal bridge; attaching (i) the lower portion of the leg of the user to the distal framework portion with the distal securing members and (ii) the upper portion of the leg of the user to the proximal framework portion with the proximal securing members; and urging the leg into extension by activating the extension assistor to encourage extension of the proximal and distal framework portions relative to one another.
