   KNEE CPM 1850™

Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a postoperative rehabilitation therapy designed to aid in patient recovery after joint surgery, soft tissue surgical procedure or trauma. The treatment method has been practiced for more than 30 years.

After extensive joint surgery patient attempts at joint flexion can cause considerable pain, dissuading the patient from effective joint motion. Failure to achieve proper rehabilitative flexion can lead to stiffening of the tissue around the joint. Eventually, this condition may cause intra-articular adhesions (formation of scar tissue) and extra-articular contractures (shortening of a muscle or tendon), resulting in a limited range of motion for the joint.

2.

Transfer this measurement to the thigh cradle beginning approximately 1.5 to 2 inches away from the hip pivot assembly measuring to the knee axis of the unit. Adjust the thigh cradle to match this measurement by loosening the thigh adjustment knobs and sliding the thigh cradle to the proper length.

Note: The DC2480 maximum cradle adjustment is 3 inches. Do not extended beyond this point.

3.

If patient’s thigh length exceeds these measurements, simply increase the beginning point of measurement to 4 to 6 inches away from the hip pivot assembly.

Loosen the calf cradle adjustment knobs and extend the foot assembly. Do not remove this assembly -- only slide far enough for patient placement. Position the patient's leg in the unit, with soft goods in place.

4.

Slide the foot assembly toward patient accordingly leaving one half inch gap between the patient’s foot and the foot plate. Tighten the calf cradle adjustment knobs securely.

The foot assembly may be adjusted in plantar flex or dorsi flex positions. Loosen the adjustment knobs on the foot assembly, adjust the foot plate to the desired positioning and securely tighten the adjustment knobs.
