Simulation is a valuable part of the curriculum in healthcare education, providing students with a patient-like environment. Currently, passive movements are commonly practiced on human models in medical, dental, and nursing education. This proposed device serves as a simulation model designed to simulate joint movements. It’s crucial for practicing passive movements, a fundamental skill in physiotherapy that maintains a patient’s range of motion and muscle power, especially when they cannot initiate voluntary movements.
