Eligibility:
All Genders
13+ years
Phase:
NA
Brief Summary
This pilot study is designed to determine if the rehabilitative benefits of continuous passive motion (CPM) will help preserve/restore the joint function and significantly improve the rate of recovery...
Detailed Description
Elbow stiffness and reduced motion commonly occur after elbow injury or surgery. With traumatic injuries to the elbow, contractures are a common complication. Indeed, they are expected in most cases. ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- To be included, each patient must meet ALL of the following:
- Lack of elbow flexion and/or extension, with or without pain.

- Progressive or recalcitrant neuropathy or neuritis, except for isolated intermittent ulnar neuritis.
- Pre-existing factors that might limit ability to completely participate in rehabilitations such as neuromuscular or psychosocial condition.
- Progressive or recurrent contracture due to inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis or chondrolysis.
- Altered anatomy that might limit elbow motion, independent of the condition being treated, such as dysplasia, malunion, osteonecrosis, and congenital deformity.
- A reasonable restoration of motion and function cannot be expected.
- Inadequate postoperative regional anesthesia
- Intra-operative or postoperative complication that could affect outcome
- Injury or disease in the postoperative period that could affect elbow function
