Abstract To determine the effect of physiotherapy on range of motion of an injured arm. A transducer is built and mounted on an arm brace, and interfaced with a computer so it will measure the angle of the arm. We would like to find out if, over an extended period of time, the angle actually increases with physiotherapy to extend the range of motion.
