Abstract

A device for the passive movement of limbs comprising co-operating inflatable bags (11, 12) and associated inflation and deflation means (17), wherein a first bag (11) is adapted, when inflated to raise the joint and a second bag (12) is adapted, when inflated to straighten the limb, said inflation and deflation means being (17) arranged to alternately inflate one bag (11, 12) and deflate the other bag thereby allowing the limb to be alternately bent and raised at the joint and then straightened and lowered.
