The OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM Is A Continuous Passive Motion Machine
Unfortunately, after extensive knee surgery most patients will have pain when they attempt to move the knee. Because of the pain, the patient will resist moving the knee joint, and this will cause the knee joint to become stiff.
If a patient does not use CPM therapy after knee surgery, then it is very likely that the tissue around the knee will become stiff and scar tissue will form. This will limit the range of motion of the joint, it can then take more physical therapy and more time before recovery is complete.
Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a postoperative treatment method that is designed to aid recovery after joint surgery. The OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM unit moves the knee joint without muscular involvement by the patient. The patient does not use effort, his or her participation is passive while the OptiFlex 3 Knee CPM moves the knee joint.
