IIT Ropar has made a significant breakthrough in knee rehabilitation technology by developing a patented, mechanical Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine. This innovative device operates using a piston-pulley system, eliminating the need for electricity and making it portable, cost-effective, and ideal for rural areas. Unlike traditional motorized CPM machines, this mechanical device offers an affordable off-grid solution for post-surgical therapy, enhancing accessibility and convenience for patients undergoing knee rehabilitation. This technological advancement has the potential to transform rehabilitation practices, especially in resource-constrained settings.
