Introduction
 Continuous Passive Motion Machine.

 Designed to overcome joint adhesions,

joint stiffness, muscle atrophy,
degenerative & traumatic arthritis after a
patient has had joint surgery.
 Purpose
 Enhance nutrition
 Increase metabolic activity
• Produce Passive Joint  Stimulate tissue remodeling and regrowth of
Motion healing tissues:
• CPM devices should  Articular Cartilage
not be used in the  Tendons
presence of  Ligaments
flammable gases
Indications & Contra Indications

Indications Contra Indications

• ORIF of fracture that is stable. • Unstable Fractures
• Arthroplasty • Active Infection
• Ligament reconstruction • Fused Joint
• Tendon Reconstruction • Hemophilia or blood-thinning
• Synovectomy medication
• Renal Failure
Treatment
Duration
 Long term bouts:
 patient continuously
attached
1-hour 3 times per day
 6 to 8 hours a day post-
surgery
 In home treatments with
home visits by physical
therapist
 Benefits of CPM
 Increases nutrient uptake
• Meniscus
• Articular cartilage

 Prevent Edema: The passive movement

of the limb and the elevation of the body
part could assist in venous and lymphatic
return by milking the muscle

 Pain Reduction: Other effects such as

decreased edema could also decrease pain
