Continuous Passive Motion as an Adjunct Therapy for Tenolysis

From Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri.

A model was developed to evaluate continuous passive motion as an adjunct to tenolysis. The use of continuous passive motion after tenolysis was associated with a significant increase in tendon rupture and the terminal force necessary to flex the phalanx actively. Also, there was a decrease in the passive range of motion in the continuous passive motion group which appeared to be the result of increased granulation tissue which formed around tenolysed tendon.
