Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Align the client's joints with the joints on the frame.
Rationale:
💠 Proper joint alignment ensures smooth, safe movement of the limb through the device’s range of motion.
💠 Misalignment can lead to joint strain, pain, or delayed rehabilitation following knee arthroplasty.
💠 The CPM device must mirror anatomical joint position to prevent complications like ligament damage.
💠 This alignment maximizes the benefits of passive motion, helping reduce stiffness and enhance mobility.
💠 Accurate setup reflects adherence to postoperative physical therapy protocols and promotes recovery.
