Abstract

Background: Continuous passive motion (CPM) is often used in the early post-operative rehabilitation of patients after hip surgery.

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of new CPM device after hemi arthroplasty in terms of clinical scores and functional recovery.

Materials & Methods: A total of 26 patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty were assigned into two groups. The experimental group received continuous passive motion and conventional physiotherapy and control group received only conventional physiotherapy for seven days as tolerated.

Results: Average difference in active range of hip abduction was 25 ±5 degrees and Oxford hip score difference was 5.7 ± 3.5 in control group that received conventional physiotherapy. On the other hand, average difference in active range of hip abduction was 40 ±10 degrees and Oxford hip score difference was 8.8 ± 3.6 in experimental group that received an additional intervention in form of continuous passive motion.

Conclusion: Continuous passive motion machine can be used as an adjunct to conventional physiotherapy after hemiarthroplasty.

Keywords: biomedical engineering, design, continuous passive motion, hip and hemiarthroplasty.
