Cpm Machine Prima Advance Knee

Kinetec, worldwide leader for CPM machines, are known for quality, reliability and innovation. With 30 years experience, Kinetec truly offer the complete CPM solution. Experimental investigations in the 1970s formed the scientific basis for CPM treatment using motor-driven exercise equipment. CPM devices were pioneered by Robert Salter in the early 1980s and have now been designed for most joints in the body.

Experimental evidence has demonstrated positive results for articular cartilage, muscle, ligaments and nerves when moved sooner rather than later following injury and/or surgery. More recent evidence is growing to support the use of CPM following surgery including joint replacement, capsular release and cartilage implants.Effects of CPM Allows early mobilisation of a joint and surrounding structures, often sooner than the joint would be moved actively.

Allows continuous movement of a joint and surrounding structures. Allows movement within a controlled range. Gentle joint movement enhances cartilage nutrition and metabolic activity. Prevention of adhesion formation. Assists increasing passive ROM Benefits of CPM Improvements in objective range of motion and functional outcomes on hospital discharge Can assist in reducing length of hospital stay.

With its simple design and analogue controls the prima advance is one of the simplest CPMs to use:

• Range of motion from –5 to 115°
• Adjustable speed
• Patient stop button
• 21 Stone Weight capacity
