Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) devices for the knee are often prescribed following surgery to promote healing and restore range of motion. These machines gently flex and extend the knee joint through a controlled range of movement, reducing stiffness and pain. A typical scenario involves a patient renting a CPM machine for home use during the recovery period.
Post-operative use of these devices can significantly benefit patients by minimizing scar tissue formation, reducing swelling and inflammation, and improving joint lubrication. This facilitated rehabilitation process can lead to faster recovery times and better long-term outcomes. The development and availability of rentable CPM machines have significantly enhanced post-surgical knee rehabilitation practices, allowing patients greater comfort and convenience in their recovery.
