An orthosis for flexing tissue about an arm joint of a wearer, the orthosis comprising:
- a first arm member configured to couple to a first arm portion of the wearer;
- a second arm member pivotably coupled to the first arm member, the second arm member configured to couple to a second arm portion of the wearer;
- and
- a drive assembly coupled to the first and second arm members and configured to move the first arm member in an arcuate path.
A device for flexing tissue about an arm joint of a wearer, the device comprising:
- a first member configured to couple to a first arm portion of a wearer;
- a second member configured to couple to a second arm portion of a wearer, the second member coupled to the first member at a device pivot connection;
- and
- a resistive member configured to at least one of resist and provide relative movement of the first member to the second arm member.
A method of assembling a device for flexing tissue about a joint of an arm of a wearer, comprising:
- providing a first member configured to couple to a first arm portion of a wearer;
- providing a second member configured to couple to a second arm portion of a wearer and configured to slide along the first member;
- coupling the first member to the second member at a first device pivot connection;
- and
- coupling a resistive member configured to at least one of resist and provide relative movement of the first arm member to the second arm member.
