Abstract

The aim of this project is to design and fabricate a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine that possesses greater versatility and affordability compared to commercially available alternatives. Utilizing CPM as a treatment option following joint surgery aids in promoting tissue regeneration, increasing range of motion (ROM), and reducing the risk of contracture formation. Evidence suggests that this method yields better results than traditional approaches. The use of contemporary devices has seen a surge in advanced mechanical, electrical, and computer systems, aimed at various applications ranging from industrial to research domains. In particular, Continuous passive motion (CPM), an often-prescribed postoperative treatment technique for aiding joint surgery recovery processes, is being widely used. Studies have shown that CPM can reduce hospital stays time and the need for analgesics while also accelerating the healing processes.

Microcontroller pic: It is used to control all the automatic activities which are required for the controlling of the project. Once the program is fed in Microcontroller it is used to work manually. Limit Switches: A limit switch is an electromechanical device that consists of an actuator mechanically linked to a set of contacts. When an object comes into contact with the actuator, the device operates the contacts to make or break an electrical connection. Geared Motor: It has sturdy construction with gear box built to handle stall torque produced by the motor. Drive shaft is supported from both sides with metal bushes. Motor runs smoothly from 4V to 12V and gives 30 RPM at 12V. Motor has 6mm diameter, 22mm length drive shaft with D shape for excellent coupling.

Screw Drive: It is used to lift the one part smoothly according to the command given by the Micro Controller.
