Three Easy Step Guide
The Kinetec Centura Shoulder CPM machine plays a crucial role in shoulder rehabilitation by providing controlled, passive motion to the shoulder joint, which aids in reducing stiffness and improving range of motion. Here's how to operate the machine effectively:
Step 1: Adjusting the Degrees
Begin by pressing the Limit Button (Arrow Up) on the machine. This action will cause the degree numbers on the display to start flashing, indicating that you are in adjustment mode. You can now change the degrees to the desired setting. Once you have set the degrees, press the Limit Button again to confirm your selection.
Step 2: Starting the Exercise Routine
After setting the desired degrees, press the Start button to commence the workout program. The machine will now follow the set range of motion, providing gentle and controlled movement to the shoulder.
Step 3: Progressing Through Rehabilitation
Consistent with your doctor’s recommendations, aim to increase the range of motion by approximately 5 degrees every 2-3 days. This gradual increase helps in steadily improving the flexibility and strength of the shoulder joint. To adjust the degrees, simply repeat step 1.
