CPM (Continuous Passive Motion) is utilized following various reconstructive joint surgeries, including knee replacements and ACL reconstructions. Its mechanism of action varies based on the specific procedure performed. One key function is the movement of synovial fluid, which facilitates better nutrient diffusion into damaged cartilage—though this aspect is less relevant in joint replacement scenarios—and aids in the removal of other materials, such as blood and metabolic waste products. Additionally, CPM helps prevent the development of fibrous scar tissue within the joint, thereby preserving the joint’s range of motion. Continuous Passive Motion Machines, offered by Medical Equipment India, are specifically designed for use by patients recovering from surgery or undergoing rehabilitation.
If continued passive range of motion therapy is used immediately after surgery, it can provide many important benefits to the patient, such as maintaining or improving range of motion, reducing pain and discomfort.
