Device, Continuous Passive Motion-CPM, for the rehabilitation of motor skills of the forearm and wrist using a mobile application and Arduino

The objective is to support with this intelligent device to patients with injuries in the upper extremity. HS1 Forearm and wrist, Pronation/Supination CPM (HS1-CPM); is an intelligent device of rehabilitation therapeutic with Bluetooth technology, where, the Range of Motion (ROM) is controlled and monitored by means of short-range radio signal technology that uses radio frequency fields to transmit signals over short distances between devices. The mobile application used, also called a mobile app, is a type of application designed to run on a smart mobile phone using App Inventor to control the Hand Smart device (HS1-CPM). Besides, through data collection and analysis, the therapist will rely in this case on the joint movement of the patient’s upper extremity after having performed the rehabilitation therapy with the intelligent device HS1-CPM, the analysis of data obtained by the Leap Motion Controller (LMC) sensor, which captures the position of the joint movement of the affected upper extremity, this data obtained will help therapists to quantify the patient’s improvement and/or identify the problem areas of the patient’s upper extremity injury.
