ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the exercising of an afflicted elbow and/or shoulder joint, especially for postoperative exercising of such joints, has a carriage which is placed adjacent to the back, chest or side of a patient's torso and is secured to the body of the patient by a strap or pad engaging the non-afflicted shoulder as well as by a lower component including one or more shells or a seat in the hip region. The arm support is attached to the carriage by two motion generating and transmitting units one of which is adjustably secured to the carriage and defines a horizontal pivot axis and the other of which is carried by one unit and defines a vertical pivot axis for the support. The two axes intersect each other in the afflicted shoulder joint. An additional motion generating and transmitting unit can be provided to pivot two articulately connected portions of the arm support in the region of the elbow. The controls for the units can be programmed so that the patient can perform exercises about one, two or more axes in a preselected sequence, to a predetermined extent and for predetermined intervals of time.
