In one embodiment of the invention, an orthotic apparatus includes a frame
structure having an upper frame portion moveable relative to a lower
frame portion. The orthotic apparatus further includes at least one strap
attached to the upper frame portion and the lower frame portion of the
frame structure. The at least one strap and the frame structure,
together, are configured to apply a therapeutic moment to a joint of a
limb responsive to positioning the limb within a limb-receiving space
formed between the at least one strap and the frame structure.
