Design may differ based on place of application of continuous passive motion devices

Continuous passive motion devices are medical devices that are used to increase range of motion and alleviate joint stiffness following surgery. These devices are commonly used during the first phase of rehabilitation to expand the joint's limited range of motion, alleviate postoperative pain, and lower the likelihood of inflammation. Hands, shoulders, legs, and hips are moved in arc motions with varying speeds for a set amount of time using continuous passive motion devices. These gadgets help speedy recovery and should be used as soon as possible after a serious injury or within 48 hours of surgery.

Continuous passive motion devices remove blood and edoema from the joint and specific tissue, preventing muscular stiffness in the joints. They also prevent tendon fibrosis and discomfort and edoema at the application site. Following osteoarthritis, elbow, rotator cuff repair, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, knee arthroplasty, and fracture from trauma, continuous passive motion devices can assist rehabilitate or preserve range of motion. They're frequently utilised after surgery and for people who are unable to exercise owing to conditions like significant joint contracture and complex regional pain syndrome. Continuous passive motion devices can be used in both homes and hospitals, and their design varies depending on the location of use.
