ABSTRACT:
A prone board is provided with an adjustable angle leg supporting and spreading appliance positioned to extend from a location below the crotch and between the thighs of a patient to a location below the patient's knees. The appliance is adjustable and cooperates with lateral foot supports for adaptation to progress in treatment of hip or knee extension and/or flexion. A trunk support has lateral pads adjustable relative to the plane of symmetry lengthwise of the prone board for treatment of scoliosis. A face support relieves prolonged stress on the patient's neck or compensate for dysfunctional head support. The structure supporting the trunk supporting end of the appliance includes a pair of legs diverging at an acute angle. Alternatively, an attachment including a leg inclined forwardly and a telescoping brace which permits adjustment of the angle of inclination of the prone board relative to the floor. A seat back appliance converts the prone board to a chair utilizing the flexion control appliance.
