Abstract

In modern society, the incidence of various joint diseases such as degenerative arthritis is steadily increasing with the increase of the elderly population. For the effective treatment of these diseases, the demand for CPM medical devices that increase the range of motion of the joint is increasing, and if a patient is unable to perform exercise on his or her own, it plays a role in helping joint recovery through repetitive and continuous manual exercise to prevent joint stiffness, promote blood circulation, and improve tissue flexibility to shorten the recovery period after joint surgery to efficiently proceed with the rehabilitation process. Due to the uncertainty of the angle measurement method currently in use, it is difficult to accurately evaluate the patient's exercise amount required to improve the range of motion, which can negatively affect the reliability of CPM medical devices and the patient's willingness to rehabilitate. Therefore, a new technology using encoders and angle sensors is needed to overcome the problems arising from the method measured using only the existing Potentiometer.
