Abstract
An apparatus for imparting back and forth motion in a slow rhythmic cycle for mobilizing a human joint. An elongated support is provided with a traveller mounted thereon for reciprocating linear movement relative thereto. The traveller is provided with a connector for operatively engaging a limb of the body adjacent to the joint to be mobilized. A reversible motor is provided for driving the traveller through a reciprocating linear stroke and for reversing the direction of travel of the traveller at any point in its path of travel in response to a sensed predetermined load.
