A CPM machine is a device that passively moves a patient's joints or extremities through a predetermined range of motion controlled by the user by following physician’s instructions. It can be programmed for range of motion, speed, pause, length of treatment, and other variables.
CPM therapy benefits patients by facilitating earlier motion and earlier return to normal function. These patients also have less pain, swelling, edema, and reduction of scarring/adhesion formation. OrthoStat, Corp. provides CPM equipment for the knee, shoulder, ankle and elbow.
