CPM Continuous Passive Motion Therapy Equipment for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

At John Preston, we supply a specialist range of Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machines designed to support physiotherapy, post-operative rehabilitation and joint recovery programmes. CPM therapy equipment helps healthcare professionals provide controlled passive movement to joints, supporting rehabilitation following surgery, injury or periods of reduced mobility.

Our range includes professional Kinetec CPM systems for different joints, including the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hand and wrist. These advanced rehabilitation devices are designed for use by physiotherapists, hospitals, clinics and healthcare professionals.

What Is Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) Therapy?

Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) uses a motorised therapy device to move a patient’s joint through a controlled range of movement without the patient actively moving the joint themselves.

A CPM machine gently and repeatedly moves the affected joint while allowing the patient to remain relaxed. This controlled movement can help support rehabilitation by encouraging joint mobility and maintaining movement during recovery periods.

CPM therapy is commonly used following:

• Orthopaedic surgery
• Joint replacement procedures
• Joint injuries
• Post-operative rehabilitation
• Periods of limited movement

Supporting Joint Rehabilitation and Recovery

Following surgery or injury, maintaining safe joint movement can be an important part of the rehabilitation process.

CPM machines can support:

• Controlled range-of-motion exercises
• Joint mobility programmes
• Early rehabilitation following surgery
• Reduced joint stiffness through movement
• Progressive physiotherapy programmes

CPM should always be used as part of a healthcare professional’s treatment plan and adjusted according to individual patient requirements.

Knee CPM Machines for Rehabilitation

Knee CPM machines are among the most commonly used continuous passive motion devices.

They are designed to support rehabilitation following procedures such as:

• Knee replacement surgery

• Orthopaedic recovery programmes

A knee CPM machine gently bends and straightens the knee through a programmed range of movement, helping therapists manage controlled rehabilitation.

Shoulder CPM Machines

Shoulder rehabilitation can require carefully controlled movement to restore mobility and function.

Shoulder CPM systems can support:

• Shoulder joint mobilisation
• Post-operative recovery

• Specialist physiotherapy programmes

Shoulder CPM devices allow controlled movement while reducing the need for active patient effort during early rehabilitation stages.
