Abstract: The continuous passive motion exercise system enables human's joints to recover speedily to original functioning after injuries or surgeries, and thus shortens the period of time needed for joint rehabilitation. The present invention provides a force or torque monitoring device attached onto a continuous passive motion exercise mechanism to measure the driving force of the repeated joint flexing and extending motion, so as to evaluate the change of the viscosity and the stiffness of the injured joints through different rehabilitation periods. This monitoring device also monitor degrees of joint muscle's active contraction and thus slows down or stops the repeated motions of exercise mechanisms to improve safety concerns. In addition, such a monitoring device also includes a data transceiver interface utilized for transmitting and receiving the information regarding a patient's states of using such a exercise system in order to assess the patient and to provide doctors with the basis for evaluating and improving the rehabilitation condition of the injured joints.
