An estimating system using electromyography for therapeutic exercise

This system uses the principle of therapeutic exercise in continuous passive motion (CPM) to establish an efficiency estimating system to supply scientific, quantified data as the basis of estimation in treatment. The proposed system can assist doctors in diagnosing and treating patients, decrease therapy duration, and enhance therapeutic efficiency. The proposed system combines an estimating system and a traditional continuous passive motion machine, and uses electronic circuit design technology. Parameter analysis was performed using electromyography (EMG) signals to establish a prediction and diagnosis system for therapeutic exercise efficiency estimation.
