Prototype of a Continuous Passive Motion device for shoulder rehabilitation

Continuous Passive Motion - CPM is a therapeutic method that provides fast and safe patient rehabilitation. Considering the fact equipment performs movement along with patient, who also does it but passively, this treatment procedure can immediately be applied in postoperative care period. Although technique makes recovery faster, as strains will spared from ligaments, muscles tendons, not all clinics offer therapy due to its high cost. Bearing mind existence of such aforementioned motion, objective work was development manufacture prototype device for continuous passive shoulder movement, costs reduced an approximate value USD$730.00 compared average price market which around USD$1510.00. This difference values would make affordable greater majority offices purchase them and, thus, promote accelerated timely limb after operation, larger number patients, allowing these patients return their daily tasks shorter period time. For execution prototype, specific mechanical manufacturing methods, us turning, milling welding materials, were order effective, provide comfort above all, most physiotherapy clinics. The material used production stainless steel, cables, pulleys, tilting automation kit inductive sensors.
