Set-Up of Your CPM
Before your surgery, an Advanced Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine representative will contact you to arrange a time to come to your home and set up your CPM machine. At that time, your CPM schedule will be discussed.

A knee CPM machine is best placed on a bed or a couch. Shoulder machines come with a chair. Other CPM devices will be set up based on your physician’s order.

Using Your CPM
Your physician will determine the schedule you will follow. In most cases, these guidelines are used for knee CPMs:
  • Use 1 hour, 3 times per day minimum. Use more if tolerated.
  • Start at a setting of 0 degrees extension and 45 to 90 degrees flexion, or as much as tolerated. Increase the flexion (bending) range of motion setting by by 5 degrees per day, if possible.
  • Goal of 90 degrees knee flexion by 2 weeks after your surgery. Ultimate goal: 120 degrees.

If you have any questions about using your CPM, please ask your physical therapist or call Advanced Physical Therapy at 920.991.2561.

Upon Completion of CPM Use

Dial 800.991.2561 or 920.991.2561.

When you hear the recorded greeting, please leave a message with the following information:
  • Your name (please spell)
  • Your phone number
  • The date you completed using the CPM

When you are finished with your CPM, it is very important that you call your physical therapist. After this call is completed, your billing will be stopped.

You may call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to leave a message on our answering machine.
