Abstract: Articular contracture is a factor which grieves everyday life. Prevention of articular contracture involves training by a physiotherapist. However, since the physiotherapist is treating also many other patients with articular contractures, his burden of work as individual is heavy and therefore there can be the problem where the single patient cannot undergo medical treatments with full satisfaction situation that as to be prevented. This study has been the development of a contracture prevention device for the purpose of reducing the burden of work for a physiotherapist. This paper is intended for human finger joints, aimed at developing a device that can reproduce the movement of the joint range of motion performed by trained physiotherapists.
