Abstract
Objective: The goal of the present study was to
improve the extension and flexion of the elbow joint for
rehabilitation purposes, in terms of energy dissipation and
of injuries caused by stress imposed on connective tissue by
exercise equipments during force transfer , by investigation
of viscoelastic property variations during change in speed
of motion.
Materials & Methods: A sample of five men without any
previous neuromuscular impairment of the elbow joint was
chosen by the BMI factor. The passive continuous motion test
(CPM) was performed by the CYBEX isokinetic system in the
extension and flexion movements of the elbow joint of the left
hand, at 4 different speeds (15, 45, 75 and120 Deg/s) during 5
consecutive cycles at the range of motion of about 0 to 130 degrees.
The experimental data was exported to the MATLAB software for
analysis. In order to determine viscoelastic property effects and
biomechanical parameters, we used a passive viscoelastic mechanical
model constructed by 3 elements for simulation, and also we used the
curve fitting method to derive the elastic and viscose coefficients for
the model.
Results: Results of experiments showed that by increasing the speed
of motion, the value of work done, hysteresis and elastic coefficient
increased and the value of viscose coefficient decreased. Also, it appeared
that by increasing the speed of motion, the effect of viscose resistance
on the passive torque curves increased. In addition, there was significant
correlation between the action of the mechanical model and the action of
the concerned limbs, during the movement.
Conclusion: It was concluded that in order to improve motion and to
reduce imposed risks and injuries to joints and limbs, rehabilitation
exercises better be performed at lower speeds and with rehabilitation
equipments supported by viscoelastic resistant force.
Keywords: Elbow joint, Extension and flexion, Passive torque,
Viscoelastic
