The OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM will help speed your recovery after knee replacement surgery.
After knee replacement surgery, you literally want to "get back on your feet fast." Patients who use Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) to start moving their knee soon after surgery recover faster than those patients who don't.
Studies prove that beginning motion soon after surgery will both speed healing and recovery time, and also lessen the pain of surgery. After your knee surgery, it is very important to begin moving your knee as soon as you can.
The patient who does not move his or her knee after knee replacement surgery will likely suffer from tissue stiffening around the knee, and from formation of scar tissue. These unfavorable conditions will cause a limited range of motion in the knee, more pain, and a longer recovery period.
The OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM will help you to begin knee movement as soon as possible after surgery. With repeated flexing and extending of the knee joint over an extended period of time, the OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM will minimize the negative effects of immobilization and trauma caused by knee joint surgery..
The basic idea behind using a continuous passive motion device after knee surgery is that it will speed recovery by getting your knee joint moving as soon as possible, thus regaining range of motion and lessening tissue stiffness and scar tissue formation. Pain is reduced, and physical therapy can begin sooner and will be effective faster.
