Page 1 of 2   Your doctor has ordered a continuous passive motion machine (CPM). This special machine will facilitate your rehabilitation by keeping your injured limb and joint moving constantly, slowly, and carefully. Your CPM will change the position of your limb at your joint. It will also help heal your damaged tissue and improve your recovery time. Pain ReductionStiffness and swelling contribute to the pain that occurs after injury or surgery. Pain results when swelling puts increased pressure on nerve endings. This makes joint movement difficult.Your CPM provides a pumping action that helps reduce swelling. The first few times you use your CPM, you might experience a tissue-stretching sensation. This sensation will diminish within the first few minutes. Benefits of Using CPMYour CPM helps prevent joint stiffness, pain, and scarring. It may also help decrease swelling and improve wound healing that results from improved blood flow.In certain cases, CPM use is preferable to immobilization, periodic motion, or complete rest. |
