Design of Continuous Passive Motion Machine Based on Kinematic Model of Lower Limb

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article presents the design of Continuous Passive Motion machine based on kinematic model of lower limb. The machines are used to prevent the stiffening of joints and allow recovering their full functionality after surgical interventions. The research conducted in rehabilitation centers states, that there is a necessity of using the CPM machines. The types of the machines that are currently used do not provide all the natural movements of a healthy organism, though. Such limitations concern not only motions in particular level, but also ranges of motions. There is a need to modernize already existing models, by introducing brand new functions or improving and re-constructing the functions already implemented. Such information resulted in designing a new solution of a CPM machine for the lower limb exercises.
