My Project – CPM Efficiency• Dr. Hansen said a lot of PT’s had stopped using CPM• He wanted to know what the Research says• Found 10 Research articles through the PT database• Needed to find Total Knee Replacements and using Controlled
Passive Motion Machine after surgery• Machine must be on it for hours on a time while sitting still –
up to 20 hours a day• Found that CPM does not work in long-term• Controversy on CPM working for up to 17 days• Based on the research it is an expensive machine and
unnecessary• Aggressive PT works better than the machine

Overall• Internship went great• Learned a lot• Learned new techniques of how different exercises should be
performed• Got to work with a lot of patients ages 16 and under• Always got my questions answered• Received Constructive Criticism when needed• Really enjoyed the project I was given• Great place to Intern at because get more involved with
patients treatment due to fewer patients being seen• I highly recommended Hendricks Sports Rehab
