CPM Machines for Rehabilitation

What Is a CPM Machine?

CPM stands for Continuous Passive Motion. The machine moves a joint repeatedly through a selected range while the patient remains relaxed and does not actively perform the complete movement.

A surgeon, doctor or physiotherapist should decide whether CPM fits the individual rehabilitation plan. The healthcare professional should also guide movement range, speed, session duration and progression.

Knee CPM Machine

A knee CPM device repeatedly bends and straightens the knee within limits selected for the patient. Healthcare professionals may use this type of equipment during selected post-operative or mobility rehabilitation programmes.

Routine CPM does not suit every knee-replacement patient. Current rehabilitation evidence does not support routine CPM after an uncomplicated primary total knee replacement, so use should follow the treating professional's individual recommendation.

Elbow CPM Machine

Elbow CPM equipment provides controlled passive elbow flexion and extension. It may suit selected rehabilitation programmes when active movement remains limited or when a professional wants carefully controlled repeated motion.

The Elbow CPM Machine Deluxe offers adjustable controlled elbow movement for professional and supervised rehabilitation use.

CPM Machine for Home Rehabilitation

Some patients may continue CPM sessions at home after a surgeon or physiotherapist provides instructions. Home use should follow a prescribed rehabilitation plan rather than self-selected movement settings.

Before starting, confirm the correct joint position, movement range, speed and session duration. Contact the treating professional if pain, swelling or unusual discomfort increases.

What to Check Before Buying

• Joint type: Choose equipment specifically designed for the knee, elbow or required joint.
• Range of motion: Check the adjustable flexion and extension limits.
• Speed adjustment: Different stages of rehabilitation may require different movement speeds.
• Controller: Check how easily the therapist or caregiver can adjust settings.
• Patient positioning: Look for adjustable and comfortable limb supports.
• Size and portability: Consider available clinic or home space.
• Electrical requirements: Confirm voltage and power specifications.
• Warranty: Check current warranty details for the individual model.
