CPM General Information: What does it do?

Your doctor has prescribed a home Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) device to aid in your joint rehabilitation. A CPM moves your joint passively and can provide many benefits following your surgery including:

  • Minimizes formation of scar tissue
  • Decreases pain and swelling
  • Decreases overall joint stiffness
  • Increases nutrition to the joint
  • Helps to maintain the joint range of motion that you, your therapists and your doctor are trying to achieve

Guidelines for CPM Use:

Your doctor has recommended the following usage:

_____________ times (sessions) per day (as can be tolerated)
_____________ hour(s) per session (as can be tolerated)

Slowly increase range of motion as can be tolerated.

Shoulder CPM Patients

– Never exceed 120 degrees range of motion without physician approval.

– Never exceed 140 degrees maximum.

Note:

  • Do not begin using CPM until 24 hours after your surgery.
  • Discontinue using the CPM if you experience significant increased pain, redness, or swelling and contact your doctor.

If you have any questions about the proper use of or experience any problems with the CPM, please callOmnikare, LLC. at 1-800-861-1633
