ABSTRACT:
A flexion chair apparatus for the continuous passive motion treatment is disclosed, for use in the physical rehabilitation of a knee joint, which allows a patient to be so treated in a sitting upright position while not requiring the patient's leg to be lifted above the ground. The apparatus of the invention includes a seat and back support, as well securement for the patient's leg and a flexing of his or her knee joint. The seat portion of the apparatus is provided with an elevator which allows the seat to be vertically and continuously or discontinuously raised and lowered during the treatment process. Securement of the patient's leg includes a support bar which runs substantially along the length of the patient's entire leg and which includes a joint adjacent to the patient's knee joint. The support bar of the invention is capable of being raised or lowered in response to a vertical movement of the seat. The patient's foot is secured to the ground in a fixed manner which does not permit it to be raised.
