Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) devices have been used to assist physicians conducting human rehabilitation; however, similar machines specific for canine rehabilitation have not been found in the reviewed literature. This research performed a physical analysis of the hind limb of dogs to design a device for implementing automated CPM exercises. The device proved to comply with the guidelines to perform CPM exercises, allowing a proper setting of parameters to generate rehabilitation routines customized for different rehabilitation requirements. Also, an electromyography acquisition module was incorporated into the system, with surface electrodes to visualize and provide feedback to the user for muscle activation. Limitations were encountered with a range of motion of 80° and an error of approximately 2% for angular position accuracy.
连续被动运动（CPM）设备已被用于辅助医生进行人类康复治疗；然而，在所查阅的文献中尚未发现专门用于犬类康复的类似机器。本研究对犬类后肢进行了物理分析，以设计一种用于实施自动CPM运动的设备。该设备被证明符合进行CPM运动的指导方针，能够适当设置参数以生成针对不同康复需求定制的康复程序。此外，系统中还集成了一个肌电图采集模块，通过表面电极来可视化并向用户提供肌肉激活的反馈。该设备在运动范围为80°时遇到了限制，角位置精度误差约为2%。
