Implication

Development study demonstrates a mechanized device for simultaneous knee rehabilitation and hamstring stretching, suggesting improved accessibility for home-based physical therapy.

Key Points

Design an automated rehabilitation device capable of simultaneously restoring knee range of motion and alleviating hamstring tightness via controlled, micro-incremental movements.
Engineered a rehabilitation apparatus utilizing a linear actuator to execute precise 0.3° step incremental movements to protect against microtrauma.
Integrated a computerized tracking system to log patient exercise activity and automatically record the maximum achieved angle of knee movement.
Developed a dual-action system that targets joint stiffness and hamstring tightness concurrently within a single treatment session without added therapeutic cost.
Established an automated feedback mechanism engineered to support patient-controlled and monitored home-based physical therapy protocols.
