What are the benefits of using a CPM machine?

CPM (continuous passive motion) is a safe and effective way to prevent stiffness, reduce pain and swelling after orthopedic surgery to the knee, shoulder and elbow. Properly applied and used, CPM increases the chances of obtaining maximum range of motion following surgery or trauma. Speak with your doctor today about the benefits of CPM therapy and prescribing CPM for you.

Elbow CPM

Offers physicians and their patients the utmost in versatility by providing anatomically correct passive motion of the elbow joint with or without synchronized pronation/supination of the forearm. In addition, the Kinetec 6080 rolls on locking wheels and is usable in bed or a chair. Its 135° range of motion fits a wide variety of applications while the variable speed control allows progressive changes in therapy. Accidental program changes and potential injuries can be avoided thanks to the lockable range-of-motion setting.

“Thank you so much. Loved having the machine and it has defintely done its job. I managed 130 degrees at my physio today on a Cybex machine – thanks to the CPM.”

Julie, March 2018

“I hired a CPM machine from Kinetec UK to support my recovery from a knee manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA). I was instructed by my physio to use it 3x day for an hour per session for a fortnight. The gains made in range of movement during surgery have been really well supported using the device alongside ‘manual’ exercise sessions. I also want to acknowledge the fantastic customer support from this company who are easy to contact, responsive and quick to sort out any problems that arise. If you are having knee surgery, this CPM machine loan is worth the investment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

Lisa, London, June 2018

Recent research from Germany has highlighted the significant benefits of using CPM therapy alongside active, physiotherapist-led rehabilitation in the home.

For patients who are looking to optimise their recovery from joint surgery, CPM therapy offers an outstanding option for their recovery. By hiring a CPM, the patient can achieve better outcomes for their mobility, pain and daily living activities. The option of hiring a CPM for a minimum of 2 weeks, means that the cost to the patient is relatively insignificant – from as little as £10 per day. The CPMs are delivered directly to the patient’s home with carriage costs for delivery and collection covered within the hire fee. The CPMs are simple to set-up and use and online videos through the Kinetec site offer further guidance.

CPM hire is also available to hospitals and clinics. This is particularly useful for hand & wrist, elbow, shoulder and ankle post-op recovery where the CPM devices may be used more infrequently.

  The principles on which the concept of CPM is based are twofold. First, joint motion is necessary for the maintenance of articular cartilage. Second, and relevant to the present discussion, joint homeostasis requires maintenance of normal periarticular soft tissue compliance. For CPM to accomplish this requires that the motion be full, and that the soft tissues be subjected to tension immediately following surgery in order to prevent swelling. It is this early maintenance of motion that is the key determinant of the joint's long-term mobility. The application of this concept to clinical practice requires a paradigm shift, resulting in the focus of our attention on preventing the initial or delayed accumulation of periarticular interstitial fluids.
