LCD CPM machines are most commonly used after knee surgery. They can also be used to treat the hip, shoulder, and elbow joints. They have also been used for the treatment of chronic non-specific back pain. LCD CPM have traditionally been used in hospitals and as take-home devices.
The purpose of CPM machine: A continuous passive motion (CPM) machine allows for movement of the joints after surgery. A person may use a CPM machine after undergoing surgery on joints such as the knee or hip.
It is frequently recommended after knee joint replacement or knee cartilage repair surgery. Uses of the CPM are also reported in pediatric orthopaedic surgeries or injuries for maintaining hip and knee range of motion.
If using a CPM machine for your shoulder, place your elbow so that it rests where the CPM bends. Place your hand around the hand grip. Attach your leg to the machine by wrapping the machine’s straps around your thigh, shin, and foot. Attach your arm to the machine by wrapping the machine’s strap around your lower arm.
In actual clinical practice, however, the use of CPM devices remains the standard of care in many institutions for rehabilitation , although the provision of CPM to patients has now been shown to be associated with insignificant long-term benefits and the short-term therapeutic role of the procedure remains unchange.
Using a CPM machine may help increase range of motion after undergoing surgery on a joint. A person may use a CPM machine after undergoing surgery on the knee or hip. So far, research is unclear as to whether or not a CPM machine provides any significant benefits for recovery after surgery.
