ABSTRACT:
A continuous motion passive anatomic ankle-foot exerciser for rehabilitating ankle and foot injuries is provided. The ankle-foot exerciser is constructed to move a patient's foot through a range of motion which may include pure ankle joint motion, pure subtalar joint motion, or a combination of both. The ankle-foot exerciser includes a base, a foot holder, a drive motor for moving the foot holder in an up/down in/out motion, and a foot tilting device for continuously tilting the foot in an inversion/eversion motion. Movement of the foot holder is controlled by an initial positioning of the drive motor and by a control circuit that coordinates the up/down in/out and tilting motions of the foot holder.
