Abstract:
An apparatus for achieving motor improvement of a neurologically and/or orthopedically disordered limb of a patient is provided along with a method of use. The apparatus incorporates a frame supported panel on which is adjustably and diagonally mounted an elongated member that has associated therewith a releasable attachment member. A releasably supportable portable marker member that is also releasably engagable with the releasable attachment member is provided. Thus, the patient after being suitably oriented relative to the apparatus, can raise a limb, fasten the marker member to the elongated member, and then lower the limb in a controlled, repetitive manner.
