Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuous passive motion devices are most commonly used for postoperative clients who have had total joint replacement to help prevent complications such as joint stiffness and muscle atrophy. Unconscious clients and quadriplegic clients may not benefit from this intervention, as they may not have the ability to actively participate in joint movements. Bed rest and traction clients may have specific mobility restrictions, but continuous passive motion devices may not be the most appropriate intervention for their specific condition.
