Continuous passive motion exercisers designed to provide controlled movements (flexion, extension and/or adduction and/or rotation) to the lower limb joints without muscular exertion. These exercisers typically consist of an electronically controlled electromechanism that is attached to the lower limbs to provide periodic, rhythmic movements through a range of motion. Lower limb continuous passive motion exercisers are intended to prevent joint stiffness in the knee, hip, ankle, and/or foot; they are used for physical therapy and rehabilitation after illness, trauma, and/or surgical treatment. Dedicated lower limb continuous passive motion exercisers for the hip, knee, ankle or foot are available.
