ABSTRACT:
A continuous, passive motion device includes a chair to which a motivator assembly is attached for exercising the arm and shoulder of a patient seated therein. The assembly has two interconnected drive units, one of which provides elevation of the arm and the other its rotation when the arm is positioned in a connected pivotal orthosis. The drive units communicate with each other through a microcontroller programmable to avoid exercise physiologically incompatible with the patient's proper range of movement, thereby avoiding exercise-induced trauma.
