Abstract:
1. A continuous passive motion exercise system for exercising a patient's jointed limb, comprising: a mounting device, having a flexing and extending mechanism capable of conducting reciprocative angular displacement; a driving device connected to said mounting device, for providing with a driving force or torque so as to continuously drive said flexing and extending mechanism to conduct reciprocative motion; a driven monitoring device comprising sensor means for sensing said driving force or torque; and wherein when a patient's jointed limb is fastened onto said mounting device and brought to motion passively to exercise the joints involved, said driven monitoring device calculates the average difference between the work done in each first half cycle and the work done in each another half cycle of the passive motion by said driving force or torque of said driving device so as to quantify the elasticity degree of said joints during the exercise.
