The author describes rehabilitation by means of CPM based on the principle of passive movement. This type of rehabilitation is used at the author's clinic after operations of the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee. The author describes her experience and the most frequent mistakes associated with the use of CPM. Advantages described in the literature regarding postoperative rehabilitation with CPM were confirmed at the author's clinic: intraarticular adhesions and stiff joints do not develop and the range of movements improves more rapidly.
