Building a continuous passive mobilization machine (CPM) for the inferior limb recuperation

Abstract

This paper is presenting the projection and realization of a passive mobilization device (CPM), used for rehabilitate lower knee articulation conditions, such as post-traumatic conditions, degenerative, ligamento-plastic chirurgical interventions, meniscectomy and in special patients who have had been under knee prosthesis chirurgical interventions, this one being the one which causes the biggest issues in the rehabilitation process. Also, in this paper are figured the main steps which are followed throughout the building process of a Low-Cost functional prototype and its way of function.
