Passive Motion Splint Applied in Traumatology and Ortopaedics

Abstract

This article deals with analysis of the knee continuous passive motion (CPM) splint used for rehabilitation of patients after surgeries and injuries. CPM splints are used for speeding up the treatment and restoration of the joint mobility and to stop complications caused by immobilization. The goal is to solve kinematic, dynamic, deformation and stress parameters of “Artromot K1 Comfort” CPM splint.
