  1. Continuous Passive Motion For Knee Continuous Passive Motion For Knee Replacement Recovery Replacement Recovery Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) therapy can be used as part of the recovery process after knee replacement surgery. It is one of the popular devices used for knee replacement recovery. Although I did not use one during my recovery, I am aware that they can be an important part of other people's rehabilitation. I'll explain how it works for the knee joint and go over some of the benefits and drawbacks of continuous passive motion machines (or CPM machines). You should not choose this therapy on your own. Your surgeon or physical therapist should make the decision to use a CPM machine after the knee joint replacement. Physical therapy and active manipulation are two alternatives to CPM. I'll explain how I recovered and provide useful information to help you recover. Purpose after the knee surgery recovery Your medical team will want you to start walking and stretching after knee replacement surgery. While you are still in the hospital bed, the CPM machine helps to keep your knee moving. The CPM machine moves the knee joint on its own.

  2. Some surgeons have recommended CPM machines to prevent the formation of scar tissue (learn how I massaged my scar) that can cause stiffness. Scar tissue around the joint may restrict your range of motion. Stiffness in your knee joint can lead to complications, including pain and the need for a "knee manipulation" under anaesthesia by your surgeon. The CPM machine can be used whether you are lying down or sitting up. You place your knee on the CPM knee machine's frame. Your foot is inserted into an adjustable footpad. The straps are adjusted to secure your leg (which are attached to the machine). The speed and angle of the machine can be adjusted by the physical therapist or your doctor. The CPM machine can be adjusted to your tolerance for pain. The CPM machine, like pain, is a part of the recovery process. Medication, if prescribed, will undoubtedly be beneficial.
