ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mobilization of a human limb includes a carriage for supporting the limb through a range of angular movement and a carriage drive which provides an interrupted drive force to the carriage in the form of alternating drive and pause periods. A stimulation device applies electrical stimulation to muscles of the limb intermittently and in a predetermined temporal relationship to the drive and pause periods. The apparatus makes possible a dithered or vibratory movement of the limb, rather than continuous motion, and offers a wide range of therapeutic modes.
