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