Redevelopment of the continuous passive motion machine for stroke and elderly patient

The Continuous Passive Motion Machine (CPMM) is a post-surgical machine which aids in the recovery of the patients in terms of getting back muscle coordination, muscle strength and range of motion. Using CPMM has also shown a clear reduction to hospital stay and recovery time. However, since the inc...
