<<What does the CPM machine do? eom>>

It flexes her leg very slowly. She started using it the day after surgery at 10 degrees. Now she is up to 98 degrees bend. The idea is that it stops deep clots from forming and smoothes the implants while keeping her leg muscles stretched. No cast, a removeable brace instead. Off with the brace and on the CPM for 2 hours then off the CPM and on with the brace. Three times a day. She got into reading.
