A hand/wrist continuous passive motion exerciser is a motorized device that automatically moves the joints of the hand and wrist through a controlled range of motion without requiring patient effort. It is used clinically after surgery or trauma to help maintain joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and support healing by promoting synovial fluid circulation and decreasing swelling.
This category of device is powered by mains electricity and includes a motorized carriage with straps to secure the hand or wrist, along with a control unit allowing healthcare professionals to adjust motion parameters such as range and speed. Features may include digital displays and safety mechanisms, but the device is intended solely for passive motion therapy and does not contain medication or perform active patient-assisted exercise.
