The knee joint plays a key role in the execution of daily functions, such as walking. However, medical treatment of the knee joint is often required owing to injuries, aging, or other reasons. Rehabilitation is an important process following knee surgeries. During rehabilitation, a continuous passive motion (CPM) device is often used to help slowly stretch and bend the legs of patients for the prevention of contracture and recovery of the joint's range of motion. Additionally, Strengthening of the weakened muscles is also important to facilitate speedy recuperation. Under this background, the authors developed a CPM device to strengthen the leg muscle by utilizing impedance control, and this paper describes to what extent the proposed CPM can activate leg muscles, as observed experimentally.
