ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a device which may be used to provide active forces necessary to substitute for decreased or absent muscle function in various joints of the body and to help bring deformed or spastic muscles and joints back to normal configuration. Since the device is made from relatively soft, resilient foam, the forces needed to provide assistance to various muscles are inherent within the device itself. The device contains a contoured cavity which is anatomically designed to simulate normal joint and muscle positions.
