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.
Two dimensional movements possible: Plantar Flexion -40° to Dorsiflexion 30° and Eversion -25° to Inversion 25°
Anatomically correct motion to the ankle and rear foot
It can be used in bed or while sitting in a chair
Intuitive remote control with unique features provides a precise yet clear feedback to the patient as well as it helps the therapy with unique functions such as warm-up or by-pass
The remote control features a keyboard locking system preventing misuse and enhancing patient safety
Start, Stop, and Reverse always accessible
Precise adjustment and possibility to block the adjustment of the parameters - ROM, speed, pauses at the limit of extension or flexion allowing rest or posture
Load reverse ensures patient protection when excessive force is exerted on the joint
