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