Continuous Passive Motion MachineThe Continuous Passive Motion Machine (CPM)
will be used to gently bend (flex) and straighten (extend) your knee.
Using this machine after surgery will help to decrease stiffness and
increase range of motion in your new knee.
The CPM will be started when your surgeon feels it would be safe. The
machine will be used on your new knee at least 4 hours during the day and
all night. You will continue this program when you go home. The staff on 6
East will make arrangements for the CPM to be delivered to your home after
discharge.
