Continuous passive motion (CPM) devices are used during the first phase of rehabilitation following a soft tissue surgical procedure or trauma. The goals of phase 1 rehabilitation are Control post-operative pain, Reduce inflammation, Provide passive motion in a specific plane of movement , and Protect the healing repair or tissue. CPM is carried out by a CPM device, which constantly moves the joint through a controlled range of motion, the exact range is dependent upon the joint, but in most cases the range of motion is increased over time. CPM is used following various types of reconstructive joint surgery such as knee replacement and ACL reconstruction. Its mechanisms of action for aiding joint recovery are dependent upon what surgery is performed. One mechanism is the movement of synovial fluid to allow for better diffusion of nutrients into damaged cartilage (which would be unimportant in the event of joint replacement), and diffusion of other materials out; such as blood and metabolic waste products. Another mechanism is the prevention of fibrous scar tissue formation in the joint, which tends to decrease the range of motion for a joint. The concept was created by Robert B. Salter M.D in 1970 and, along with help from engineer John Saringer, a device was created in 1978.[1]
Thanks Dr. Wiki. I guess this is for all of those ortho residents who found a picture of a CPM in one of their medical history books. "Tell us about a CPM grandpa".

I thought it stood for Complete Passive-aggressive Management, i.e. Andrew Dice Clay, the King of aggressively going after "low hanging fruit". Scratch, scratch.
C.P.M more likely = Competent People Micromanaged. Let's take a successful sales force with solid surgeon relationships, put an unrealistic weight on their shoulders of 8, no 10, no 12, no 15? QUALIFIED sales calls per day, stick them in a car with a netbook, track their every fart with a secret program on their blackberries, and call them every 1.3 hours to nag "Any success stories yet? Any success stories yet? Any success stories yet?... how about now?.... now?.... okay, now?" I have been given a copy of the Otto Bock middle management training tool. They have left Wilson Learning and adapted this more simple approach with astounding results: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXz-q_U0qB8

great video, yes our wings have been clipped for sure and it's not going to get better, "Forecast" this weekend? cloudy future with a black cloud over the reps, over projections and more micromanagement to come, with little chance of commissions and hitting your quota
it's already starting to go in pieces, cpm manufacturing plant is gone, soon the orthotics will be pushed by the TO side only
more reps gone, 2 resigned, and 2-3 let go, looks like sales agents will put in place, saves money, their only paid commissions, what little they get! sinking fast, JF is frustrated and has no where to turn now,
