Abstract

The Spectra Knee Device, specifically the kinetic Spectra, is a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine designed for knee rehabilitation. A spectra knee device is a medical device used after knee surgery to improve the range of motion in the knee joint. It gently moves the knee joint through a controlled range of motion, preventing stiffness and promoting healing. CPM therapy can be helpful after surgeries
such as knee replacement or ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction, allowing patients to recover more effectively. Furthermore, knee range of motion or ROM, refers to the extent of movement that the knee joint can achieve in various directions. It is usually measured in degrees and includes movements like flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) of the knee. A normal range of motion in the knee joint allows for activities like walking, running, climbing stairs and sitting comfortably. Besides that,
with rehabilitation equipment such as ‘spectra knee for moving train using IoT, users can do exercises and therapy in addition to that users can also see their improvement data that has been saved every time they exercise using the equipment.
