ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic electronic range of motion apparatus includes a remote subsystem for generating motion commands which are transmitted to a local subsystem at an orthosis, prosthesis or CPM machine. The local subsystem includes a local controller for controlling and monitoring the position, speed, and direction of an actuator which moves an orthotic brace, prosthesis or CPM machine mounting. The apparatus is programmable enabling a patient to program stopping positions which thereafter are selectable by command. When the actuator is not in motion the local controller enters a sleep mode to conserve power. The controller is automatically awakened when a motion command is received.
