Continuous Passive Motion
CPM Machine Therapy ModalityTechnology Overview
Continuous Passive Motion represents the cutting edge of rehabilitation technology utilized at Dr. Karolin Rockson PT. By integrating Continuous Passive Motion into our evidence-based treatment plans, we can significantly accelerate tissue healing, reduce pain pathways, and enhance neuromuscular re-education beyond what traditional therapy alone can achieve.
How It Works (Clinical Mechanism)
CPM machines slowly and continuously move a joint through a controlled range of motion while the patient remains passive. The mechanical movement prevents post-surgical adhesions, reduces joint stiffness, promotes cartilage healing, and improves synovial fluid circulation. The range of motion is gradually increased as healing progresses.
Clinical Indications
- •Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) post-operative
- •Total hip arthroplasty (THA) post-operative
- •Knee manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) recovery
- •Articular cartilage repair and transplantation
- •ACL reconstruction early mobilization
- •Rotator cuff repair shoulder mobilization
Contraindications
- •Unstable fractures in or adjacent to the joint
- •Active infection (septic arthritis)
- •Recent joint replacement with surgeon restrictions
- •Uncontrolled severe pain with movement
- •DVT in the limb being treated
- •Severe cognitive impairment unable to communicate
Clinical Expected Outcomes
Reduces post-operative knee stiffness by 30–50%
Decreases hospital length of stay after joint replacement
Improves final range of motion by 10–15 degrees
Prevents adhesions and arthrofibrosis
Reduces reliance on opioid pain medications post-surgery
