摘要：
Various orthotic devices for attachment to and for manipulating a users limb having a joint are provided. The device generally comprises an inflatable motive bladder containing a first fluid and positioned adjacent a first portion of the users limb, and a separate therapy pad positioned adjacent a second portion of the users limb. The motive bladder is inflatable from a lesser inflated mode to a more inflated mode, and further configured to provide a motive force to move the first portion of the users limb so as to cause a flexion in the joint. The therapy pad includes a treatment material configured to provide thermotherapy for the second portion of the users limb. In certain embodiments, the second portion is the users joint. Various methods of using the orthotic devices are also provided.
