Foot flexion and extension machine

摘要

An ankle flexion and extension machine including a lower leg backing beam having upper and lower ends; a support arm cantilevering from the lower leg backing beam; an arm mounting pivot joint interconnecting the lower leg backing beam's lower end and the support arm's proximal end; a foot plate; a plate mounting pivot joint interconnecting the foot plate and the support arm's distal end, the plate mounting pivot joint being adapted for facilitating dorsiflecting and plantarflecting pivoting movements of the foot plate with respect to the lower leg backing beam; a reversible electric motor connected operatively to the foot plate, the reversible electric motor being adapted for driving the pivoting movement of the foot plate; a floor support base; and a triangulating frame supporting the lower leg backing beam, the support arm and the foot plate over the floor support base.

主权项

1. A foot flexion and extension machine comprising:
(a) a leg support beam having upper and lower ends; (b) a support arm having proximal and distal ends; (c) arm mounting means interconnecting the lower end of the leg support beam and the proximal end of the support arm; (d) a foot plate; (e) plate mounting means interconnecting the foot plate and the distal end of the support arm, the plate mounting means being adapted for facilitating pivoting movement of the foot plate; (f) first motor means connected operatively to the foot plate, the first motor means being adapted for driving the pivoting movement of the foot plate; (g) a base; and (h) beam mounting means interconnecting the leg support beam and the base.
