Pneumatic Muscle Actuated Equipment for the Passive Exercising of Inferior Limb Bearing Joints
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2009, Vol 10, Issue 27
Abstract
Applying passive exercising as part of the recovery programme of patients with post-traumatic disabilities of the bearing joints of the inferior limbs requires the development of new high performance equipment. The paper discusses a study of the kinematics, construction and actuation of a novel, pneumatic muscle actuated rehabilitation system for continuous passive motion. The utilized energy source is compressed air ensuring complete absorption of the end of stroke shocks, thus minimizing user discomfort.
