ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to orthopedic equipment and more particularly to a splint for mobilizing an upper limb, which comprises a vertical framework supporting, in its upper part, a brachial cradle articulated about a horizontal geometrical axis, intended substantially to coincide with the scapulo-humeral joint of the upper limb, and which is connected to the framework by a drive member capable of pivoting the cradle about said axis in movements of abduction/adduction with respect to the framework, said cradle being provided with an adjustable axial extension bearing a bent bar whose part substantially parallel to the extension supports an adjustable antebrachial splint. The invention is applicable to the functional reeducation of the scapulo-humeral joint.
