MOVEMENT
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement, and more particularly, to a shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement enabling to perform an ease change of a position of brachium/antebrachium movement units, a vertical and horizontal movement and a pulling movement. Background Art
[2] Shoulder is a portion of human body having usual damage because of its relatively large movement range, and an abnormal symptom of a shoulder joint generally calls an occurrence of pain in a shoulder and adversity in movement of a shoulder.
[3] Representative one of the abnormal symptoms of a shoulder joint is an adhesive capsulitis. The adhesive capsulitis is not an independent disease but a condition having active and passive adversity in movement of shoulder joint without other identified reasons, that is, a condition having adversity in movement because of shoulder pain and stiff shoulder joint. Continuous fixing, ages, diabetes, serious or slight trauma etc. are trigger factors of the adhesive capsulitis.
[4] Since this abnormal symptom of a shoulder joint gives trouble in daily life by raising adversity in movement of a shoulder, serious pain in a shoulder, and stiffness in neck portion, suitable drug medical treatment should be done, if need, together with physical medical treatment using proper treatment equipment.
[5] One representative example of proper physical treatment equipment is a shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement which treats the abnormal symptom of a shoulder joint using a brachium movement unit and an antebrachium movement unit.
[6] The shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement is provided with a supporting member on the bottom of a base body, and a seat and a back are provided over the supporting member. Also, an unit mounting body is fixedly installed on the back of the base body, and a brachium movement unit and an antebrachium movement unit are installed on the right or left side of the unit mounting body, the brachium/ antebrachium movement units being provided with a gear box in which a motor and a plurality ofreduction gears for reducing and transferring the rotating power are mounted.
[7] To treat a patient suitable for his/her condition, the brachium/antebrachium movement units should be able to be easily changed in right and left sides of the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement. To do so, in the conventional movement, the brachium/antebrachium movement units provided with the gear box should be disassembled from the unit mounting body and re-assembled to the unit mounting body in a desired position, and thereby inconvenience as well as lots of time and labor should be raised.
[8] Further, in the conventional movement, every movement required in the treatment may be not properly done since the brachium/antebrachium movement units give only a vertical movement, and therefore it is limited to enhance remedial value.
[9] Further, the conventional movement must need additional treatment equipment for pulling treatment since it does not provide the pulling movement. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[10] The present invention is created to solve the above conventional problems.
[11] One object of the present invention is to provide a shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement having an ease and free horizontal change of brachium/antebrachium movement units.
[12] Another object of the present invention is to provide a shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement having a vertical and horizontal movement of brachium/ antebrachium movement units.
[13] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement performing a pulling movement without additional treatment equipment.
Technical Solution
[14] In the present invention, a brachium movement unit connector which connects a brachium movement unit is horizontally rotatably connected to a movement unit mounting body provided on the rear of the back of a main body so as to perform an ease and free change of brachium/antebrachium movement units.
[15] Further, the brachium movement unit can be vertically erected or horizontally laid so as to perform a vertical and horizontal movement of the brachium/antebrachium movement units.
[16] Further, the brachium movement unit has a first brachium movement unit and a second brachium movement unit which can be near and apart from each other so as to perform the pulling movement.
Advantageous Effects
[17] According to the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement of the present invention, ease treatment suitable to a patient's condition can be performed owing to the ease and free change of brachium/antebrachium movement units.
[18] Further, the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement of the present i nvention can enhance the remedial value owing to the vertical and horizontal movement of the brachium/antebrachium movement units. [19] Further, the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement of the present invention can additionally perform a pulling movementowing to its pulling ability.

Mode for the Invention
[57] The above described object, characteristic, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.
[58] Hereinafter, the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[59] The shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement 1000 according to this preferred embodiment comprises a main body 1100, a movement unit mounting body 1200, a brachium movement unit connector 1300, a brachium movement unit 1400, an antebrachium movement unit 1500, an armrest 1600 and an armrest rotating body 1700.
[60] As shown in Fig. 1, the main body 1100 is to seat a patient during a predetermined treatment time, and generally it is preferably made in form of a chair as shown in Fig. 1. Further, the main body 1100 is comprised of a seat 1110 for supporting hips of a patient and a back 1130 for supporting the back of a patient.
[61] The seat 1110 is fixed installed with a vertical frame 1111 for supporting the seat
1110 on the bottom thereof, and the vertical frame 1111 is fixedly installed with a pair of horizontal supports 1112. To the convenience of travel, wheels 1113 are mounted on one of the pair of horizontal supports 1112, preferably the horizontal support 1112 at the rear side of the seat 1110.
[62] The back 1300 is vertically fixedly installed on the rear end of a pair of horizontal holders 1114 fixedly installed on the vertical frame 1111 of the seat 1110. The vertical state of the back 1300 may be sustained by installing the back 1130 on a pair of vertical supports 1115 which vertically fixedly installed on the pair of horizontal supports 1112 drawn in dotted lines. The height of the back 1130 is adjustable by handling a knob bolt 1116 connected to the pair of vertical supports 1115. The adjustment of the height is performed by releasing the knob bolt 1116, by pulling up or pushing down a handle 1201 in a desired position, and then by locking the knob bolt 1116.
[63] The pair of horizontal holders 1114 can be extended by applying a known art, and through this the horizontal position of the back 1130 may be adjusted suitable for a body form of a patient. A pair of guide bars 1117 in which a power supply jack or a power supplier for supplying power to parts such as the movement unit mounting body 1200, the brachium movement unit connector 1300, etc. are installed or installed to be inserted on the upper end of the pair of horizontal holders 1114.
[64] As separately shown inFig. 2, the movement unit mounting body 1200 is to mount the brachium/antebrachium movement units 1400 and 1500, particularly the brachium movement unit 1400 on the seat 1130, and it is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the seat 1130. A guide block 1210 is rotatably pivotally connected to the movement unit mounting body 1200. In particular, one side, for example right side in Fig. 2, of the guide block 1210 is pivotally connected to a fixing pin 1211 provided on the movement unit mounting body 1200.
[65] The rotation of the guide block 1210 is controlled by handling a pair of index plungers 1212a and 1212b provided on both sides of the fixing pin 1211 with a predetermined distance. In particular, the pair of index plungers 1212a and 1212b are provided with locking pins 1213, and the guide block 1210 is provided with locking grooves 1214 corresponding to the locking pins 1213 on the upper end surface thereof. As shown in the Figure, when the guide block 1210 is at right side, the rotation of the guide block 1210 is controlled by inserting the locking pin of the index plunger 1212b in right side into the locking recess, otherwise the Figure, if the guide block 1210 is at left side, the rotation of the guide block 1210 is controlled by inserting the locking pin of the index plunger 1212a in right side into the locking recess. Change of the guide block 1210 from right to left is performed by pulling out the locking pin from the locking recess through the operation of the index plunger 1212b at right side, by rotating the guide block 1210 to left side, and by inserting the locking pin into the recess through the operation of the index plunger 1212a.
[66] Further, the guide block 1210 is formed with a pair of through holes (not shown) which pass through the inside of theblock 1210, and a pair of horizontal shift bars 1215 are installed in the guide block 1210 such that the pair of horizontal shift bars 1215 pass through the pair of through holes and linearly reciprocativly movable. The movement of the pair of horizontal shift bars 1215 is controlled by handling a knob bolt 1216 provided on the guide block 1210. In particular, the pair of horizontal shift bars 1215 are linearly movable when the knob bolt 1216 is released whereas they are held when the knob bolt 1216 is tightened.
[67] A stopper 1217 is fixedly installed on one side end, particularly on right side end in
Fig.2 of the pair of horizontal shift bars 1215, and the brachium movement unit connector 1300 is fixedly installed on the right side end of the pair of horizontal shift bars 1215.
[68] As separately shown in Fig. 3, the brachium movement unit connector 1300 is to connect the brachium movement unit 1400 to the movement unit mounting body 1200, and its horizontal position is transferred by the reciprocally horizontal movement of the pair of horizontal shift bars 1215.
[69] The brachium movement unit connector 1300 is comprised of a connecting block
1311 fixedly installed on the end, particularly on the right end in Fig. 2 of the pair of horizontal shift bars 1215, a vertical shift bar 1312 vertically movably installed on the connecting block 1311, and a knob bolt 1313 controlling the vertical position of the vertical shift bar 1312.
[70] The connecting block 1311 is provided with a gas spring cylinder 1315 therein which always pushes out a cylinder rod 1314, and a horizontal change gear box 1320 is fixedly connected to the cylinder rod 1314. Therefore, the horizontal change gear box 1320 which is operated by the handling of a rotating knob 1321 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the brachium movement unit connector 1300.
[71] The positional shift of the vertical shift bar 1312 causes to push out the cylinder rod
1314 in the gas spring cylinder 1315 and the horizontal change gear box 1320. At this time, the brachium movement unit 1400 and the antebrachium movement unit 1500 connected to the brachium movement unit 1400 are pushed out together, and this causes the forward and backward movement of the horizontal change gear box 1320 as well as the forward and backward movement of the brachium/antebrachium movement units 1400 and 1500.
[72] As separately shown in Fig. 4, the horizontal change gear box 1320 is provided with a worm 1323 whose rotation movement is done by handling of the rotating knob 1321, and a worm wheel 1324 geared with the worm 1323, and also the worm wheel 1324 has a wheel shaft 1325.
[73] As separately shown in Figs. 5 and 7, the brachium movement unit 1400 is to treat a brachium of a patient, and it is comprised of a brachium movement unit gear box 1410, a first brachium movement unit 1430 and a second brachium movement unit 1450.
[74] The brachium movement unit gear box 1410 is to cause the movement of the brachium movement unit 1400, and as shown in Fig. 6, it is provided with a motor 1411 and a plurality of reduction gears 1412 therein. The rotating force of the motor 1411 is gradually increased by the plurality of reduction gears 1412. The structure as shortly described above in which the brachium movement unit 1400 is connected to the horizontal change gear box 1320 is specifically the structure in which the brachium movement unit gear box 1410 is connected to the horizontal change gear box 1320, particularly to the wheel shaft 1325 of the worm wheel 1324. Therefore, the brachium movement unit gear box 1410 can be rotated about the horizontal change gear box 1320 according to the rotation of the wheel shaft 1325.
[75] The first brachium movement unit 1430 is rotatably installed on the brachium movement unit gear box 1410 so as to lift up and down an elbow about a shoulder joint. Particularly, the end of the first brachium movement unit 1430 is outwardly connected to the final reduction gear of the plurality of reduction gears 1412 provided with the brachium movement unit gear box 1410, and the first brachium movement unit 1430, further the brachium movement unit 1400 is vertically rotated by the rotation force of the final reduction gear.
[76] The second brachium movement unit 1450, as shown in Fig. 7, has a rear end which is inserted into a plurality of guide bars 1431 provided on front end of the first brachium movement unit 1430, and the distance between the first brachium movement unit 1430 and the second brachium movement unit 1450 can be adjusted by the handling of a knob bolt 1432. That is, the ends of the guide bars 1431 are elastically supported by an elastic body 1433 such as a spring provided in the second brachium movement unit 1450, and this state is maintained by the knob bolt 1432. If the knob bolt 1432 is released, the second brachium movement unit 1450 goes forward owing to the elastic force of the compressed elastic body 1433. This will perform the pulling movement of a shoulder joint.
[77] As separately shown in Fig. 8, the antebrachium movement unit 1500 is to treat an antebrachium of a patient, and it is provided with a unit frame 1510, an antebrachium movement unit gear box 1530, an elbow splint 1550 and a wrist rest 1570.
[78] The unit frame 1510 is connected to a connecting member 1460 fixedly installed on the end of the second brachium movement unit 1450 by a hinge 1461 such that it can be axially rotated about the hinge 1461 for the brachium movement unit 1400, particularly the second brachium movement unit 1450. The unit frame 1510 is formed with a circular arc typed-guide recess 1511 therein, and a knob bolt 1463 provided onthe connecting member 1460 is inserted into the recess 1511. That is, tightening or releasing of the knob bolt 1463 causes the unit frame 1510 to be held or not held.
[79] The antebrachium movement unit gear box 1530 performs the movement of the antebrachium movement unit 1500, that is lifting movement, and it is rotatably installed on the unit frame 1510. The antebrachium movement unit gear box 1530, as shown in Fig. 9, is provided with a motor 1511 and a plurality of reduction gears 1513 therein, and the rotating force of the motor 1511 is gradually increased by the plurality of reduction gears 1513. The final reduction gear of the plurality of reduction gears 1513 is outwardly connected to the unit frame 1510. Therefore, the rotating force of the motor 1511 is increased by the plurality of reduction gears 1513, and this increased rotating force causes the antebrachium movement unit gear box 1530 itself to be rotated about the unit frame 1510.
[80] The elbow splint 1550 is installed in the unit frame 1510, and it can be linearly moved for the unit frame 1510 by handling a knob bolt 1551. Therefore, the position of the elbow splint 1550 can be adjusted suitable for the length of an arm of a patient. The elbow splint 1550 further can be rotated about the unit frame 1510 so as to be in reverse. Herein, the elbow splint 1550 has both sides bent inwardly so as to safely mount an elbow, or alternatively, as drawn dotted lines, a corner 1553 made of fabric materials or soft synthetic resins can be installed instead of the elbow splint 1550. Thereby the motion of the elbow can be very convenient during mounting and movement of an elbow of a patient.
[81] The wrest rest 1570 is inwardly or outwardly rotatably connected to the an- tebrachium movement unit gear box 1530 by handling a knob bolt 1573 through an extendable connecting member 1571, and the position of the wrest rest 1570 can be adjusted by stretching or contracting the connecting member 1571 suitable for the length of an antebrachium of a patient by handling the knob bolt 1575. That is, the distance between the elbow splint 1550 and the wrest rest 1570 can be adjusted suitable for the length of an antebrachium of a patient, that is, the length from an elbow to a wrest (or a hand). And, the wrest rest 1570 can be reversely rotated by handling a knob bolt 1577.
[82] As separately shown in Fig. 10, the armrest unit 1600 is to be safely mounted the other arm which is not treated, and it is composed of an antebrachium seat 1610, a control unit 1630, and a control unit rest 1650.
[83] Theantebrachium seat 1610 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the armrest rotating body 1700, and it is made in form of supporting an antebrachium in stabilization and in convenient like well-known art.
[84] The control unit 1630 is means for electrically controlling all above described parts operated by power, and the operating range or the operating time etc. can be freely set and/or changed by a user.
[85] The control unit rest 1650 is to connect the control unit 1530 to the antebrachium seat 1610, and it is rotatably installed on the end portion of the antebrachium seat 1610. Therefore, the control unit 1630 can be slanted with a predetermined angle or erected for the antebrachium seat 1610, and this causes treatment condition of a user to be better.
[86] As separately shown in Fig. 11, the armrest unit rotating body 1700 is to install the armrest unit 1600 on the main body 1100, and it is provided with a rotating body installing plate 1710, a horizontal pipe 1730, an L-type pipe 1750, and an armrest unit holding bar 1770.
[87] The rotating bodyinstalling plate 1710 has square, rectangular, or circle type, and it is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the seat 1110 of the main body 1100 by a predetermined fastening means such as bolts. Also, the rotating body installing plate 1710 is provided with index plungers 171 Ia and 171 Ib provided with locking pin (not shown) with a predetermined distance.
[88] The horizontal pipe 1730 has one end portion which is rotatably installed on preferably the center of the rotating body installing plate 1710, and other end portion provided with a knob bolt 1731. Further, the horizontal pipe 1730 is formed with locking recess (not shown) near the one end portion, and the locking pin of the index plungers 171 Ia and 171 Ib provided in the rotating body installing plate 1710 is inserted into the locking recess, and thereby the rotation of the horizontal pipe 1730 being controlled. For example, as shown in Fig. 11, the locking pin of the index plunger 171 Ib is inserted into the locking recess when the horizontal pipe 1730 is at right side, whereas the locking pin of the index plunger 171 Ia is inserted into the locking recess when the horizontal pipe 1730 is at left side, which causes the horizontal pipe 1730 to be controlled in rotation. The insertion of the locking pin into the recess is performed by pulling or pushing the index plungers 171 Ia and 171 Ib. Particularly, the shift of the horizontal pipe 1730, for example, from right to left, is performed by pulling the index plunger 171 Ib and pulling out the locking pin from the recess, by rotating the horizontal pipe 1730 to left, and by pushing the index plunger 171 Ia and pushing the locking pin into the recess such that the horizontal pipe 1730 is held in left.
[89] The L-type pipe 1750 is installed on the other end portion of the horizontal pipe
1730, and its movement is controlled by a knob bolt 1731. The L-type pipe 1750 is held to the horizontal pipe 1730 if the knob bolt 1731 is tightened, whereas the L-type pipe 1750 is free to the horizontal pipe 1730 if the knob bolt 1731 is released. Therefore, the position of the L-type pipe 1750 for the horizontal pipe 1730 can be adjusted by handling the knob bolt 1731.
[90] The armrest unit holding bar 1770 is to hold the armrest unit 1600, and it is insertedly installed on the vertical portion of the L-type pipe 1750, and its movement is controlled by a knob bolt 1751. The armrest unit holding bar 1770 is fixed to the L- type pipe 1750 if the knob bolt 1751 is tightened, whereas the armrest unit holding bar 1770 is free to the L-type pipe 1750 if the knob bolt 1751 is released. Therefore, the position of the armrest unit holding bar 1770 for the L-type pipe 1750 can be adjusted by handling the knob bolt 1751.
[91] With the structure of the L-type pipe 1750 and the armrest unit holding bar 1770, the height and width between the armrest unit 1600 and the seat 1110 can be adjusted suitable to a patient.
[92] Hereinafter, the operation of the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement having above described structure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Before the description of the operation, the adjustment of the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement suitable for a patient will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[93] First, before treatment, the horizontal position of the seat 1130 of the main body 1100 and the vertical position of the movement unit mounting body 1200 are changed suitable for a patient. The change of the horizontal position of the back 1130 is performed by forcefully pushing backwardly or pulling forwardlythe back 1130, and the change of the vertical position of the movement unit mounting body 1200 is performed by forcefully pulling upwardly or pushing downwardly the handle 1201 after releasing the knob bolt 1116.
[94] Next, the horizontal position of the brachium movement unit 1400 and the an- tebrachium movement unit 1500 is changed suitable for the position of the brachium or the antebrachium required treatment, for example in left or rightFig. 1 illustrates a case in which the brachium movement unit 1400 and the antebrachium movement unit 1500 are atright so as to treat the right brachium and antebrachium of a patient. Otherwise, in case of treating the left brachium and antebrachium of a patient, thebrachium movement unit 1400 and the antebrachium movement unit 1500 should be at left.
[95] This operation to change the horizontal position (from right to left or from left to right) of the brachium movement unit 1400 and the antebrachium movement unit 1500 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. First, the brachium movement unit connector 1300 connected to the horizontal shift bars 1215 is forcefully pulled toward right until the stopper 1217 reaches to the guide block 1210. After that, the guide block 1210 is free by handling the index plunger 1212b in right, and then the guide block 1210, the brachium movement unit connector 1300, or the brachium/antebrachium movement units 1400 and 1500 is rotated in clockwise direction like the arrow. After that, the guide block 1210 is controlled by handling the index plunger 1212a, and then the brachium movement unit connector 1300 connected to the horizontal shift bars 1215 is forcefully pulled leftward up to a desired position. This state is illustrated in Fig. 12. As illustrated in Fig. 12, the brachium/antebrachium movement units 1400 and 1500 shifted to left arelocated in rear of the back 1130. In this state, the brachium/antebrachium movement units 1400 and 1500 are rotated in clockwise direction like the arrow by operating the horizontal change gear box 1320 such that the brachium movement unit 1400 is located in front of the back 1130. Next, in Fig. 13, the unit frame 1510 is free to the connecting member 1460 after releasing the knob bolt 1463, and then the antebrachium movement unit 1500 is rotated in clockwise direction like an arrow toward the back 1130 and the knob bolt 1463 is tightened again. This state is shown in Fig. 14. Next, in Fig. 14, the wrest rest 1570 is rotated in counter-clockwise direction after releasing the knob bolt 1575, and the elbow splint 1550 is separated from the unit frame 1510 after releasing the knob bolt 1551. And then the elbow splint 1550 is fit other side of the unit frame 1510 and then a knob bolt 1551 is tightened. This stateis shown in Fig. 5. Further, in Fig. 14, the armrest unit 1600should be moved in right. The operation to change of the horizontal position (left or right) of the armrest 1600 will be described with reference Fig. 11.
[96] The positional change of the armrest unit 1600 is performed by the rotation of the armrest rotating body 1700. The armrest rotating body 1700 or the horizontal pipe 1730 is rotated in counter-clockwise direction like thearrow after releasing the horizontal pipe 1730 by handling the index plunger 171 Ib in right in Fig. 11. Then, the horizontal pipe 1730 is controlled by handling the index plunder 171 Ia in left. Then, the armrest unit 1600 is rotated in clockwise or counter-clockwise direction after releasing the knob bolt 1751 such that the control unit 1630 is in front. And, the knob bolt 1751 is tightened again, which is shown in Fig. 15.
[97] Next, the height, that is, the vertical position of the brachium movement unit 1400 is changed suitable for the position of the brachium required treatment. This operation to change the position of the brachium movement unit 1400 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. First, the cylinder rod 1314 provided in the gas spring cylinder 1315 begins to be pushed out when the rotating knob 1313 provided on the outside of the connecting block 1311 is slowly released. At this time, the being pushed cylinder rod 1314 is guided by the vertical shift bar 1312.By this operation, the horizontal change gear box 1320 connected to the cylinder rod 1314 is vertically moved like thearrow, and the brachium movement unit 1400 (shown in Fig. 1) connected to the horizontal change gear box 1320 is also vertically moved. Next, the rotating knob 1313 is tightened to prevent the cylinder 1314 from being pushed out further when thebrachium movement unit 1400 is located on the almost same line with a shoulder, and thereby the brachium movement unit 1400 being held in a desired position.
[98] Next, the position of the elbow splint 1550 for the unit frame 1510 is adjusted by handling the knob bolt 1551, and correspondingly, the position of the wrest rest 1570 for the elbow splint 1550 is also adjusted by handling the knob bolt 1575. The positional angle of the wrest rest 1570 is adjusted by rotating the wrest rest 1570 inwardly or outwardly by handling the knob bolt 1573. (See Fig. 8)
[99] Next, the vertical or horizontal position of the armrest unit 1600 is adjusted. The vertical position of the armrest unit 1600 is adjusted by adjusting the vertical position of the armrest unit holding bar 1770by handling the knob bolt 1751. The horizontal position of the armrest unit 1600 is adjusted by adjusting the horizontal position of the L-type pipe 1750 for the horizontal pipe 1730 by handling the knob bolt 1731. (See Fig. 10)
[100] Treatment using the shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement completed to be adjusted as above-described will be described sharing in the vertical movement of a brachium/antebrachium, the elbow joint movement of an antebrachium, the horizontal movement of a shoulder, and the pulling movement of a shoulder joint. [101] -In a case of performing the vertical movement of a brachium/antebrachium:
[102] Angle, the values for range or time etc. for performing treatment are input in the control unit 1630. Following these input values, the motors 1411 and 1511 and the plurality of reduction gears 1412 and 1513 provided in the brachium/antebrachium movement unit gear boxes 1410 and 1530 are operated, which causes the brachium/ antebrachium movement units 1400 and 1500 to be operated in order. This operation of the units 1400 and 1500 performs the brachium movement in vertical direction which repeatedly lifts up and down an elbow about a shoulder joint, or performs the antebrachium movement in vertical direction which repeatedly lifts up and down a wrest portion about an elbow.
[103] -In a case of performing the elbow joint movement of an antebrachium:
[104] The antebrachium movement unit 1500 is free by handling the knob bolt 1463 on the unit frame 1510 illustrated in Fig. 8, and the antebrachium movement unit 1500 is rotated until it is located in the same straight line with the brachium movement unit 1400. Then, the antebrachium movement unit 1500 is held by handling the knob bolt 1463. In this state, the motor 1511 and the plurality of reduction gears 1513 are operated when the antebrachium movement unit gear box 1530 is operated by handling the control unit 1630, which causes the antebrachium movement unit 1500 to be repeatedly moved up and down as shown in Fig. 16. Therefore, the antebrachium rested on the elbow splint 1550 and the armrest 1570 mounted on the antebrachium movement unit 1500 is repeatedly folded and unfolded, and thereby the joint movement is performed. (See Fig. 16)
[105] -In a case of performing the horizontal movement of a shoulder:
[106] The brachium movement unit 1400 is horizontally laid down and the antebrachium movement unit 1500 faces in downward by handling the worm 1323, the worm wheel 1324, and the wheel shaft 1325 provided in the horizontal change gear box 1320 illustrated in Fig. 4. The antebrachium movement unit 1500 facing in downward is in horizontal condition by rotating it in counter-clockwise direction like the arrow in Fig. 17 by handling the control unit 1630 so as to operate the motor 1511 and the plurality of reduction gears 1513 provided in the antebrachium movement unit gear box 1530 in Fig. 17. At this time, the elbow splint 1550 and the armrest 1570 provided in the antebrachium movement unit 1500 keep their horizontal condition. Herein, the difference in height between the brachium movement unit 1400 and a shoulder joint is raised since the brachium movement unit 1400 is laid. Therefore, the difference needs to be adjusted, and this adjustment is easily performed by changing the vertical position of the vertical shift bar 1312 by handling the knob bolt 1313 in the connecting block 1311. (See Fig. 17) [107] After finishing above prior work, an elbow and a wrest of a patient are fastened on the elbow splint 1550 and the wrest rest 1570 by fastening bands 1559 and 1579 in Fig. 1, and then new values for angle, range or time etc. for movement are re-input by handling the control unit 1630. Following these values, the motors 1411 and the plurality of reduction gears 1412 provided in the brachium movement unit gear box 1410 are operated. This causes the brachium movement unit 1400 to be moved inwardly and outwardly like the arrow, and thereby the horizontal movement of a shoulder being performed. (See Fig. 17)
[108] -In a case of performing the pulling movement of a shoulder joint:
[109] The guide bar 1431 is automatically moved in the arrow direction by the repulsive power against the elastic force of the compressed elastic body 1433 when the rotating knob 1432 provided in the second brachium movement unit 1450is released. This causes the second brachium movement unit 1450 connected to the guide bar 1431 to be moved, and the second brachium movement unit 1450 is apart from the first brachium movement unit 1430. Therefore, the pulling movement of a shoulder joint is performed.
[110] The above described four movements may be performed independently or two or more than two movements may be jointly performed according to a patient's condition. Industrial Applicability
[111] The shoulder and elbow continuous passive movement of the present invention may be widely used in orthopedics and/or rehabilitation partsrequiring physical treatment of a shoulder.
