Continuous passive motion (CPM) devices are used during the first phase of rehabilitation following a soft tissue surgical procedure or trauma. The goals of phase 1 rehabilitation are: control post-operative pain, reduce inflammation, provide passive motion in a specific plane of movement, and protect the healing repair or tissue. CPM is carried out by a CPM device, which constantly moves the joint through a controlled range of motion; the exact range is dependent upon the joint, but in most cases the range of motion is increased over time.
CPM is used following various types of reconstructive joint surgery such as knee replacement and ACL reconstruction. There are different mechanisms of action for aiding joint recovery are dependent upon what surgery is performed, one is the movement of synovial fluid to allow for better diffusion of nutrients into damaged cartilage, and diffusion of other materials out; such as blood and metabolic waste products. And another mechanism is the prevention of fibrous scar tissue formation in the joint, which tends to decrease joint ROM.
Range of motion (ROM), Knee: -5° to 115°, Hip: 75° to 10°
Foot positioning, Plantar flexion: 40°, Dorsal flexion : 30°
Light weight (11 Kg) makes it easy for frequent handling
Load reverse ensures patient protection when excessive force is exerted on the joint
One-button remote control and adjustment panel with protective cover ensures right handling
The anatomically correct system increases the comfort of the patient and decreases joint stress
Internally contained medical grade transformer eliminates handling extra components
Long-life DC motor and screw-drive mechanism for years of reliable performance
Simple and direct adjustments of flexion, extension and speed limits makes it the first choice for elderly patients and patients with visual impairment
