  • Continuous passive motion device for a hand
    Patent number: 5683351
    Abstract: A therapeutic continuous passive motion device for rehabilitating a user's hand that includes a prime mover which provides for reciprocating motion. The therapeutic passive motion device comprises first, second and third links which cause the fingers of a user's hand to be moved in a path substantially defined by an epicycloid curve. The device can be configured to flex only MCP or only DIP and PIP joints or all three sets of joints. The therapeutic passive motion device applies a perpendicular force to the fingers so as not to irritate the tissue surrounding the bones of the fingers receiving recuperative therapy.
