About this document
Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) : Theory and Principles of Clinical Application by laurentia is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the theory behind joint stiffness following injury or surgery and the use of continuous passive motion (CPM) to prevent stiffness. It describes the four stages of stiffness as bleeding, edema, granulation tissue, and fibrosis. CPM works to pump out blood and fluid in the early stages to maintain tissue compliance and prevent stiffness. The principles and use of CPM are discussed, particularly for knee rehabilitation.
