1. How to use the motion device

1.1 Possible applications

The ARTROMOT ® -F is a motorized
motion device used for Continuous
Passive Motion (CPM) of the hand and
finger joints.
Its use is an important contribution to
medical-therapeutic treatment both in
clinics/doctors' offices and in rental
services.

1.2 Objectives of therapy

CPM therapy with the ARTROMOT
mainly serves to prevent the negative
impact of immobilization, regain painless
movement of the joints quickly, and
ensure a faster healing process with a
positive functional result.
Other objectives of the therapy include:
– Prevention of joint stiffness
(arthrofibrosis)
– Better joint metabolism
– Support for the healing of cartilage
areas and damaged ligaments
– Faster haematoma resorption
– Better lymph and blood circulation
– Prevention of thrombosis and
embolism
– Reduction of post-operative pain

1.3 Indications

The motion device is indicated in the
treatment of most injuries, postoperative
states, and diseases of the hand and
finger joints, for example:
– Capsulotomy, arthrolysis and tenolysis
for post-traumatic stiffness of MCP
and PIP joints
– Open reduction and rigid internal
fixation of intraarticular, diaphyseal
and metaphyseal fracture of the
phalanges and metacarpals
– Flexor and extensor tendon tenolysis
– Flexor and extensor tendon synovec-
tomies, following arthrotomy and
drainage of acute septic arthritis
– Prothetic replacement of MP and PIP
joints
– Stable fractures
® -F
– Crush injuries of hand without fractures
or dislocations
– Hand or digit reattachment
– Dupytren's Contracture Release
– Burn injuries
