Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) Machine

A Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine is a medical device used primarily in rehabilitation after surgery or injury. It gently moves a patient's joint through a predetermined range of motion while the patient remains passive, meaning they don't have to exert any effort. This movement helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and maintain joint flexibility during recovery, promoting healing. CPM machines are commonly used for knees, hips, or shoulders, providing controlled and consistent motion to improve outcomes in physical therapy.
