Continuous Passive Motion (CPM)
CPM is prescribed by physicians after surgery on joints or trauma to help avoid joint stiffness in knees, elbows, shoulders and the joints of the hand. CPM allows every patient to rehab affected limbs or joints through a safe, precise and slow-moving range of motion.
Once your doctor has faxed the prescription for your equipment to our Customer Service Department, we will contact you confirming that prescription. Next, one of our professionally trained and experienced Field Service Technicians will call you to as to where and when you would like the equipment delivered, whether at your home, workplace or at the hospital.
Upon delivery, they will demonstrate how to properly use the equipment.
Just contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-386-1978 and inform them that the equipment is ready to be picked up and we will do so.

Bracing
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint pain, affecting the knees, hips, back and feet of over 20 million Americans. A joint’s cartilage (the tough, smooth material at the end of bones) wears away over time. When this happens, the edges of the bones rub together, causing the joint to feel stiff and sore.
When cartilage wears away at the knee, the joint becomes “compacted” as the ends of the thigh bone and shin bone rub together. Usually, the compaction occurs on either the inside (medial) part of the leg or outside (lateral); sometimes both sides are compacted.
Braces can help nearly anyone who experiences mild to severe knee OA and are available in a variety of off-the-shelf models or custom fitted designs for any size leg.
There a number of benefits for using this brace, among them are that they dramatically reduce bone-on-bone friction, relieve long-term pain and postpone or eliminate the need for surgery. In addition, it reduces your need for medication and can be worn with comfort all day. The brace’s low profile also allows the patient to wear the brace under slacks.
The degeneration of knee cartilage makes the lower leg bend either inward or outward, resulting in compaction (bone-on-bone friction). Using 3-point leverage, an OA brace applies gentle pressure to the side of the knee, helping to reduce pain and restore mobility.
No, but it may help postpone it. A good OA knee brace will help relieve the pain, but it will not repair the damaged joint. In mild to moderate cases, using a brace may allow you to postpone surgery and prolong the intervals between knee replacements. Keep in mind that artificial knees usually last only 10 to 15 years before they need replacement.
No. In fact, an OA knee brace will make physical therapy more effective since the ability to exercise is greatly improved. With the help of your physical therapist or orthotist, the brace can help relieve pain as you strengthen muscles around your knee joint.
Yes. Some doctors inject drugs such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid directly into the joint for short term relief. However, these treatments can be very expensive, the length of relief varies greatly from patient to patient and many people report no reduction of pain. If injections are chosen, an OA brace may enhance and prolong the effects.
