A Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine is a motorized device that helps joints move through the normal range of motion during the rehabilitation process. Most often, these devices work well for individuals just beginning to recover from trauma to their joints. Home patient care supplies like the CPM machine help people get back into shape by moving the joints naturally to prevent stiffness, muscle atrophy and limited range of motion – which can often delay recovery. If patients do not consistently move their joints, these conditions can cause permanent issues. The CPM machine provides an effective and affordable option to patients. While these machines can be used at home, it is vital to consult with your doctor and work with a professional physiotherapist.
