Twenty patients (twenty-four knees) were treated by continuous passive motion (CPM) in the postoperative rehabilitation of total knee replacement. Twelve patients (fifteen knees) were OA and eight patients (nine knees) were RA. These patients were divided into three groups according to CPM method. Group A (five patients, six knees) were treated by CPM from the day of operation, Group B (seven patients, nine knees) were from the next day, Group C (eight patients, nine knees) were from two days after. As control, sixteen patients were used as a non-CPM group (Group D). Transition of range of motion (ROM), volume of postoperative bleeding, wound condition and pain were compared among these four groups.CPM group were superior to non-CPM group in ROM, pain and wound condition, however, in the group treated by CPM from the day of operation, there was tendency of increase in postoperative bleeding volume.
