Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a postoperative procedure designed to aid in the recovery after joint surgery.
After extensive joint surgery, if a patient fails to move their joint the tissue around the joint will become stiff and scar tissue may form, resulting in a joint with limited range of motion. This often takes months of physical therapy to recover from. The Chattanooga Optiflex K-1 Knee Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine can help prevent this from occurring.
The OptiFlex K-1 Knee CPM machine is available with three different hand controls for maximum versatility and comes with one Patient Kit included.
