Abstract

Turf Toe is an injury that affects the mobility of an individual's big toe, most commonly affecting the metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ). An assistive rehabilitation device facilitates several phases of rehabilitation treatment for the injury, namely an active phase and passive phase. These exercises are needed for the patient after a few weeks of recovery. The device provides the assistive as well as resistive forces needed for the process of rehabilitation helping the patient to recover faster and carry out exercises in a structured and right way.
