Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a therapeutic technique used in sports medicine and rehabilitation to facilitate joint recovery and promote the healing of injured or surgically repaired joints, especially the knee, shoulder, and elbow.
CPM devices are mechanical devices that passively move a joint through a predetermined range of motion without the patient’s active effort.
Below we provide a description of CPM and its role in sports medicine:
1. Passive Movement: CPM devices are designed to provide controlled, continuous, and passive movement to a joint. They gently flex and extend the joint within a prescribed range, mimicking natural joint motion without requiring the patient to actively move their muscles.
2. Prescribed Range of Motion: The range of motion and speed of movement are set by the healthcare provider based on the patient’s condition, surgical procedure, and stage of recovery. CPM devices are highly customizable to ensure the joint is moved within the therapeutic range.
3. Gradual Progression: CPM therapy typically begins with gentle, limited motion and gradually increases the range and speed of movement over time. This gradual progression helps prevent joint stiffness and encourages the restoration of normal joint function.
In conclusion, Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a valuable modality in sports medicine and rehabilitation, particularly for athletes recovering from joint surgery or injuries. It plays a crucial role in promoting joint recovery, reducing pain and swelling, enhancing tissue healing, and facilitating a safe return to sports activities.
CPM devices are an essential tool for sports medicine professionals in optimizing the rehabilitation and recovery process for athletes, ensuring they can return to peak performance levels with confidence.
