Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a rehabilitation therapy that uses a motorized device to move the joint passively and continuously without any active effort from the patient. It helps maintain joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and support early recovery after surgery or injury. The range of motion is adjustable based on clinical assessment and the patient’s stage of recovery.
Shoulder CPM
A passive movement device used during early rehabilitation to promote safe mobility and prevent complications following shoulder surgery or injury.
Key Features:
- Encourages early, passive shoulder movement without muscle strain
- Helps prevent frozen shoulder and joint adhesions
- Reduces post-operative pain and stiffness
- Supports soft tissue healing and mobility
- Adjustable range of motion based on clinical assessment and patient stage of recovery
Conditions Commonly Treated:
- Post-operative rehabilitation (e.g., after rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthroscopy, or joint replacement)
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shoulder stiffness after prolonged immobilization
- Soft tissue injuries around the shoulder joint
- Post-capsular release or manipulation under anesthesia
- Arthritis-related shoulder stiffness
Knee CPM
Used in the early stages of knee rehabilitation to restore mobility, reduce post-operative pain, and prevent joint stiffness.
Key Features:
- Provides passive joint movement without patient effort
- Helps prevent joint stiffness and improve mobility
- Reduces post-operative pain and swelling
- Promotes tissue healing and functional recovery
- Supports early, safe mobilization after surgery
- Adjustable range of motion based on clinical assessment and patient stage of recovery
Conditions Commonly Treated:
- Post ACL reconstruction or repair
- PCL and collateral ligament reconstruction
- Meniscus repair or surgery
- Post-operative recovery after total or partial knee replacement
- Knee stiffness from arthritis or prolonged immobilization
- Rehabilitation after knee joint surgery
Ankle CPM
Designed to move the ankle joint passively in multiple planes to maintain mobility and support recovery after surgery or immobilization.
Key Features:
- Maintains ankle joint mobility without stressing healing tissue
- Reduces stiffness, swelling, and post-operative discomfort
- Supports healing of tendons, ligaments, and joint structures
- Improves circulation and joint mobility
- Adjustable range of motion based on clinical assessment and patient stage of recovery
Conditions Commonly Treated:
- Post-operative use after Achilles tendon repair, ligament reconstruction, or ankle arthroscopy
- Post-immobilization stiffness
- Limited ankle joint mobility
- Early passive motion following tendon or ligament injuries
- Arthritis-related ankle stiffness
