Abstract
A CPM device includes a support structure arranged to be removably attached to an articulating brace supporting a limb and a joint of a user. One or more rotating members are rotatably connected to the support structure. The rotating members are adapted to contact and roll on an underlying surface that is separate from the CPM device. At least one motor is arranged to apply a torque to the rotating members such that the rotating members roll on the underlying surface. The rolling of the rotating members on the underlying surface causes the support structure to translate over the underlying surface, which, in turn, conveys a bending force to the joint.
