Abstract
Human wrist and hand are easy to be injured. Physical rehabilitation therapy after a wrist or hand operation always takes a long time. A CPM machine is a mechanism based on the rehabilitation theory of continuous passive motion (CPM). It is properly applied during the first two stages of stiffness acts to pump blood and edema fluid away from the joint and periarticular tissues. CPM is thus effective in preventing the development of stiffness, if full motion is applied immediately following surgery.
