Abstract
In one example, a rehabilitation device includes a first element having first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. A second element is rotatably coupled to the first element and includes first and second spaced-apart, generally parallel elongate members having proximal and distal ends. One of the first and second elements is angularly adjustable relative to the other. A measurement device includes a measurement element connected to one of the first and second elements and configured for rotation relative to one of the first and second elements, such that when the rehabilitation device is operably disposed with respect to a joint of a patient, the measurement element is arranged for contact with anatomy of the patient. Finally, a scale is disposed proximate the measurement element and indicates a position of the measurement element relative to another portion of the rehabilitation device.
