TLDR
A portable exoskeleton based CPM machine that can achieve the precise control of scope, force and speed of the moving fingers to improve rehabilitation results and validate the CPM theory.Abstract:
Human hand is easy to be injured. As physical rehabilitation therapy after a hand operation always takes a long time, the curative effect gets worse and the social and financial hardship with physical deterioration can be caused. A CPM machine is a mechanism based on the rehabilitation theory of continuous passive motion (CPM). To improve rehabilitation results and validate the CPM theory we have developed a portable exoskeleton based CPM machine. The device can be easily attached and also be adjusted to fit different hand sizes. And during the finger's flexion and extension motion the machine can always exert perpendicular forces on the finger phalanges. It can achieve the precise control of scope, force and speed of the moving fingers. Finally based on its mechanical structure, a kinematic validation and simulation including kinematic simulation and dynamic simulation have been carried out.read more

iHandRehab: An interactive hand exoskeleton for active and passive rehabilitation
TL;DR: The results prove that the iHandRehab device has low inertia which is critical in order to obtain good backdrivability, and the influence of friction accounts for a large portion of the driving torque and warrants future investigation.

Continuous passive motion (CPM): theory and principles of clinical application.
TL;DR: Stiffness following surgery or injury to a joint develops as a progression of four stages: bleeding, edema, granulation tissue, and fibrosis; Continuous passive motion properly applied during the first two stages acts to pump blood and edema fluid away from the joint and periarticular tissues.
