A continuous passive motion (CPM) device for the knee joint is a motorized apparatus designed to gently flex and extend the leg following surgery or injury. Renting such a device provides patients with convenient and often more affordable access to this technology for home rehabilitation. This can involve a prescribed range of motion and speed, customized to the individual’s needs.
Facilitating early, controlled movement can be instrumental in preventing stiffness, reducing pain and swelling, and improving circulation to the joint. This therapy can also contribute to faster recovery of range of motion and overall joint function. Historically, CPM devices emerged as a postoperative tool to enhance recovery after knee procedures, and their use has evolved alongside advancements in rehabilitation techniques.
