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), -10° to 135°
Synchronized and anatomical movements
Extension/flexion combined to pronation/supination, as extension-flexion movement begins, the hand starts its rotation from full pronation to full supination
Easy to use in bed or in a sitting position with locking wheels
Patient friendly one-button remote control & adjustments, lockable ROM settings prevent misuse and enhance patient safety
Post-operative treatment using this device provides an effective deterrent to stiffness and loss of range of motion
Its 135° ROM enables countless applications, and variable speed control allows progressive changes in the therapy
Start, Stop, and Reverse always accessible
Load reverse ensures patient protection when excessive force is exerted on the joint
Internally contained medical grade transformer eliminates handling extra components
