Electronic range of motion apparatus for orthosis, prothesis and CPM machine.

摘要

A therapeutic electronic range of motion apparatus (10) includes a remote subsystem (12) for generating motion commands which are transmitted to a local subsystem (44) at an orthosis, prosthesis or CPM machine. The local subsystem (44) includes a local controller (60) for controlling and monitoring the position, speed, and direction of an actuator (62) which moves an orthotic brace, prosthesis or CPM machine mounting. The apparatus is programmable enabling a patient to program stopping positions which thereafter are selectable by command. When the actuator is not in motion the local controller (60) enters a sleep mode to conserve power. The controller (60) is automatically awakened when a motion command is received.
