ABSTRACT:
A range-of-motion orthosis for applying torque across a forearm of a patient is disclosed. The orthosis includes a support hook for supporting a hand of the patient. First pivot means pivotally connects the support hook to a forearm bracket. The forearm bracket includes first and second portions interconnected at an angle of between 80.degree. and 100.degree.. Second pivot means pivotally connects the forearm bracket to an upper arm bracket such that the first portion of the forearm bracket is capable of rotation about an axis intersecting the second pivot means. A first upper arm hook is connected to the upper arm bracket for supporting an upper arm of the patient. Torque applying means interconnects the forearm bracket and the upper arm bracket and applies torque between the forearm bracket and the upper arm bracket, thereby rotating the first portion of the forearm bracket about the axis intersecting the second pivot means.
