Abstract

Continuous passive motion (CPM) has found increasing popularity in rehabilitation of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over the past decade. However, there is still controversy about its benefits on pain. The objective of this study was to determine whether patients undergoing TKA benefit from CPM.
