Abstract
A knee extender device includes a central connecting portion, and a first support leg and a second support leg that each extend downwardly from the central connecting portion and that are positioned at an angle relative to each other. A terminal portion is attached to each support leg, with each terminal portion configured to be positioned against an upper leg or a lower leg of an individual. In use, as part of a method of rehabilitating a knee joint of an individual, the device is applied to a leg of the individual adjacent to and over the knee joint, and a cord or belt is extended over at least part of the central connecting portion and around a foot of the individual. Upon applying tension to the cord or belt, the knee extender device is then pushed downward to thereby extend the knee of the individual.
