CPM Knee or hip treatments can improve range of motion, reduce pain, prevent blood clots and promote healing!
Continuous Passive Motion or CPM for knee replacement uses a machine to move the knee joint in a controlled way to improve range of motion, reduce swelling and avoid stiffness after surgery. It is most commonly used in the beginning of recovery in order to speed healing and improve the rehabilitation process.
CPM machies are in use. They are commonly used after knee replacement surgery to gently move the joint.
The main use of CPM is after surgery or injury, to restore joint motion, reduce pain and minimize swelling. It’s used to treat knee, hip, and shoulder replacements, ligament repairs, fractures, and other joint surgeries as it helps the healing process and recovery.
CPM is often advised for patients who have had a knee, hip, or shoulder replacement, or are recovering from ligament repair, fracture, or other significant joint injury. People with severe joint stiffness or low mobility after surgery may also benefit.
Fortunately, many insurance plans, including GESY (General Healthcare System) in Cyprus will cover CPM therapy if medically necessary for recovery after surgery. If your doctor sends a referral for physiotherapy sessions, including use of CPM machines, you may qualify for sessions under the GESY system. But it’s always a good idea to check with your insurance provider or doctor to make sure.
Yes, CPM machines are useful with the reduction of pain, circulation and speeding up recovery following surgery. Use of a CPM machine during recovery is shown by studies to increase joint mobility, prevent secondary complications such as stiffness, and increase healing time.
A CPM machine is a therapeutic device used to move a joint through a controlled range of motion after surgery or injury. The CPM works to reduce pain, prevent stiffness and promote healing by gently moving the joint and improving circulation and encouraging the joint to regain mobility during the recovery process.
In physiotherapy, CPM means Continuous Passive Movement, used to restore joint mobility after surgery or injury. It is passive use of a machine to move the affected joint in a controlled manner to help heal the joint through increased blood flow, decreased swelling, and increased flexibility.
Range of motion, speed of movement, and length of use are the critical parameters in CPM therapy. These parameters are modified according to the specific condition of the patient and the patient’s goals of recovery in order to obtain maximum effect. It’s important to customize so you don’t over exert yourself, but encourage healing and movement.
Yes, our CPM machines can be used to treat knee, hip, and ankle. Designed to assist in the recovery of joint function by gently mobilizing the affected joint through its full range of motion, enhancing flexibility, reducing pain and accelerating recovery from a variety of joint surgeries and injuries.
