The invention concerns a therapeutic device comprising a mechanical
orthotic element (2, 3, 4) designed to constitute a contact surface with
at least the patient's lower limbs and a neuromuscular stimulation
element (33) including at least a pair of electrodes (37, 38) designed to
act on the muscle or muscular group concerned of said patient's limb. The
orthotic element comprises two orthoses including each three segments (2,
3, 4) designed to co-operate (11, 13; 12, 14; 15) with respectively the
patient's thigh, leg and foot. The first segment is connected at one of
its ends through a first motorised articulation (9) to an element (10)
designed to co-operate with the patient's body at his hips and at its
other end through a second motorised articulation (7) to one of the ends
of the second segment. The other end of the second segment is linked
through a third motorised articulation (8) to the third segment. Each of
the articulations (6, 7, 8) is provided with an angular sensor and force
and torque sensors, coupled to the control member (31) of the stimulation
device so as to enable feedback control by closed loop adjustment of the
stimulation device.
