ABSTRACT:
A passive body-motion generating device particularly adapted for moving a leg through natural or representative hip joint articulation, the device having body support structure, at least one leg support member having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal rest axis, a hinge mechanism connecting the proximal end of the member to the body support structure, the hinge mechanism having a first pivotal axis providing generally vertical rotation for the member and a second pivotal axis providing generally lateral rotation for the member, these axes being oriented at substantially right angles to each other, and at least one motor associated with the hinge mechanism for rotating the same and the member about each of the two axes of rotation either simultaneously or in tandem, the tandem rotation being operative to selectively describe a plane or a curved surface with the member.
