Abstract

Objectives: To assess the therapeutic effectiveness of CPM devices on knee motion range post burn surgery in pediatric patients, and to aid in the development of an appropriate physical therapy rehabilitation program for these patients.

Methods: Thirty children (10-18 years old) who had undergone burn surgery were randomized and assigned to one of two groups equally: group A got a continuous passive motion device postoperatively additionally to their physiotherapy program (splinting, stretching, strengthening, and ROM ex.) and medical therapy for 12 weeks, and group B received their physiotherapy program (splinting, stretching, strengthening, and ROM ex.) and medical therapy for 12 weeks.

Findings: The mean ± SD value of knee flexion ROM at 12 weeks of group A was 81.91 ± 9.97 degrees and that of group B was 109.36 ± 10.26 degrees. The median variance between groups was -27.45 degrees. At 12 weeks, group B had a substantially larger knee flexion range of motion than group A (p = 0.0001).

Conclusions: In pediatric children who have had knee surgery after a burn, extended CPM treatment is an excellent way to promote postoperative recovery.
