Lower-limb continuous passive motion exercisers designed to provide controlled flexion and/or extension to the knee joint without the patient\'s muscular exertion. These exercisers are typically 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 knee. Knee continuous passive motion exercisers are used for physical therapy and rehabilitation after illness, trauma, and/or surgical treatment.
