Week 3

For week 3....
In consultation hour for FYP, I have discussed with my supervisor about the motor part...
Previous project use DC motor to operate the shaft for mechanical movement...
But it was lacked with power after load was applied...
So, my supervisor suggest me to do literature review on how knee joint therapy...
Through there I can selected the most ideal or most matching DC motor with the device...
This is sample picture of the DC motor that commonly used in CPM...

Higher DC motor specification is needed to move the load...
From research I obtain from internet, there were some criteria for designing and constructing the Knee Joint Joint Therapy device...

• Adjustability to a wide range of patient sizes
• Comfort, particularly for long uninterrupted application
• Use in a variety of settings: in bed while sleeping, while ambulating during the day, at home or in hospital
• Durability
• Light weight
• Low cost
• Full anatomic range of motion capability
• Multi-axis motion capability
• Minimum loading of joints
• Precise and variable range of motion (ROM) control
• Speed control
• Safe and reliable operation
• Simple and straightforward operation
• Protection for unstable joints

A variety of basic options are available to the designer and builder of CPM machines. Each selection results in a greater or lessor achievement of the above goals and a unique device results from every unique selection of options.

Week 2

As salam...

In week 2, after some research, I try to come up with some rough design for this project...

Also including dimension and angle of moving part in the device...

I will discuss with my supervisor about the design of this knee joint therapy device...

But since it is was rough design sketch, it is not included with range of motion (ROM)...

What is range of motion?

Range of motion (or ROM), is the distance (linear or angular) that a movable object may normally travel while properly attached to another object...

Generally speaking, range of motion refers to distance and direction of a joint can move to its full potential...

This is example picture knee range of motion (ROM)...

Week 1

For my final year project, I have discussed with  my supervisor, madam Naszariah on senior's project last year...

Some adjustment on new title, that is Knee Joint Therapy Device...

The original or common name is Continuous Passive Motion (CPM)...

Figure below show on the look and design of this device on market nowadays...

I haven't fully discovered the function of this device function yet....

Normally this device used in Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic section for knee recovery...

It is used during the first phase of rehabilitation following a soft tissue surgical procedure or trauma...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...
Assalamualaikum and good day...
Reason of this blog exist : Requirement for Final Year Project (Degree)....
Replace the logbook from previous project...
Maybe to reduce costing and paperless approach for green environmental...
