43 results about "Continuous passive motion" patented technology

Continuous passive motion (CPM) devices are used during the first phase of rehabilitation following a soft tissue surgical procedure or trauma. The goals of phase 1 rehabilitation are: control post-operative pain, reduce inflammation, provide passive motion in a specific plane of movement, and protect the healing repair or tissue. CPM is carried out by a CPM device, which constantly moves the joint through a controlled range of motion; the exact range is dependent upon the joint, but in most cases the range of motion is increased over time.

Continuous passive motion apparatus

A continuous passive motion apparatus for therapeutic treatment of the fingers of a patient's hand that includes a forearm hand splint. A drive unit is mounted on a palmer aspect of the splint and incorporates a motorized drive tube actuatable over a selectable range of motion. A flexion and extension assembly is connected to the tube and includes at least one finger motion assembly. The finger motion assembly is pivotally interconnected to a proximal end of the drive tube by a coupler adapted to enable movement in at least 2 degrees of freedom relative to the coupler. The coupler is further adapted to releasably engage the at least one finger motion assembly after adjustment to optimally accommodate the anatomical arrangement, size, and range and path of motion of the fingers. The finger motion assembly includes a resilient prime mover selected to be repeatedly bendable without damage but with a bend memory so that it can be adjusted to have an angle of up to about 90 degrees. In variations of the exemplary embodiment, the prime mover is interconnected to the coupler by at least one pivot ball received within the coupler and configured to move about multiple axes of motion. At least one finger splint is releasably connected to a distal end of the finger motion assembly and is adapted to receive a distal phalanx of the finger. The finger splint is preferably formed from a flexible sheet material that incorporates one or more stiffening, bend memory, and hypo-allergenic adhesive layers.

Continuous passive motion exercise system with driven monitoring

InactiveUS7090650B2Avoid injuryReduce possible secondary injuryChiropractic devicesEye exercisersStretch exerciseTransceiver
The continuous passive motion exercise system enables human's joints to recover speedily to original functioning after injuries or surgeries, and thus shortens the period of time needed for joint rehabilitation. The present invention provides a force or torque monitoring device attached onto a continuous passive motion exercise mechanism to measure the driving force of the repeated joint flexing and extending motion, so as to evaluate the change of the viscosity and the stiffness of the injured joints through different rehabilitation periods. This monitoring device also monitor degrees of joint muscle's active contraction and thus slows down or stops the repeated motions of exercise mechanisms to improve safety concerns. In addition, such a monitoring device also includes a data transceiver interface utilized for transmitting and receiving the information regarding a patient's states of using such a exercise system in order to assess the patient and to provide doctors with the basis for evaluating and improving the rehabilitation condition of the injured joints.

Method and device for continuous passive lumbar motion (CLMP) for back exercise

An exercise method and device for alleviating lower back stiffness through continuous passive motion (CPM) mimicking that experienced by a person mounted on a horse at the walk. The device and method of the present invention are envisioned as being used in gymnasiums as well as health practitioners' offices, by trainers and physical therapists treating subjects with lumbar stiffness and pain, on the one hand, and by those subjects themselves who may seek relief and greater range of motion without professional assistance. With the subject seated upright on a backless seat, with his or her spine self-supported and in proper vertical alignment, the seat is accelerated, alternatingly, forward and backward, thus imposing a horizontal to-and-fro force to the lower part of the subject's body at such frequency and excursion-amplitude that that part of the body is caused to move with respect to the upper part of the body. To permit this greater excursion of the lower body with respect to the upper, the lumbar spine bends; the resultant effect of this lumbar-spine bending is relief of stiffness--and, ultimately, discomfort--in the lumbar spine area.
