In one example, a rehabilitation device includes a first element having first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. A second element is rotatably coupled to the first element and includes first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. One of the first and second elements is angularly adjustable relative to the other. A measurement device includes a measurement element connected to one of the first and second elements and configured for rotation relative to one of the first and second elements, such that when the rehabilitation device is operably disposed with respect to a joint of a patient, the measurement element is arranged for contact with anatomy of the patient. Finally, a scale is disposed proximate the measurement element and indicates a position of the measurement element relative to another portion of the rehabilitation device. |

1. A rehabilitation device, comprising:
a first element having first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends, and a first band suspended between the elongate members; a second element rotatably coupled to the first element and having first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends, and wherein one of the first and second elements is angularly adjustable relative to the other of the first and second elements; and a measurement device, comprising:
a measurement element connected to one of the first and second elements and configured for rotation relative to one of the first and second elements, wherein when the rehabilitation device is operably disposed with respect to a joint that connects first and second portions of a limb of a patient, the measurement element extends laterally across part of the first portion of the limb of the patient, wherein an angular displacement of the measurement element indicates the extent to which the second portion of the limb has rotated relative to the first portion of the limb, and wherein the measurement element is configured such that, after rotation of the second portion of the limb has ceased, the measurement element maintains its displaced position and continues to visually indicate the extent to which the second portion of the limb has rotated; anda scale disposed proximate the measurement element and indicating a position of the measurement element relative to another portion of the rehabilitation device. |
