The OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM Helps To Speed Your Recovery...
Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) therapy is important after your knee surgery because it aids in keeping the knee joint area stretched and warm by increasing blood circulation, and helps maintain joint and tissue elasticity.
Under your doctor's supervision and scheduling, CPM will help get your knee ready for physical therapy, which is a very important part of your knee surgery recovery. CPM involves passive motion and stretching, while active motion waits until your physical therapy begins. Usually, physical therapy will begin about three weeks after surgery, but this depends on your what your doctor decides is best for you. If a patient has been using CPM during the time before physical therapy begins, then he or she has a jump-start on healing.
The OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM provides anatomical motion therapy to patients of all ages. The Continuous Passive motion, or CPM, is a therapy designed to assist with patient recovery after knee replacement surgery by moving the leg in a series of motions for an extended period of time. This movement prevents tissues and joints from becoming stiff and promotes healing by reducing recovery time.
CPM helps to reduce pain and since motion is regained faster, patients can stop using crutches sooner. CPM users often happily find their physical therapy period lasts a shorter length of time as compared to those who do not use CPM.
