<p>A CPM device is disclosed having a single drive tube (14) supporting the calf (2) and thigh (4) support members. Arms (24, 26) extend upwardly from the calf and thigh support members, each supporting an adjustable cradle (28, 30, 40) in which the calf or thigh rests. The support arms (24, 26) are rotatable 180 degrees so that either leg may be supported over the single drive tube. A foot support (16) is also cantilevered from the end of the calf support drive bar. The drive tube (14) which supports the calf and thigh drive support bars (24) is cantilevered from a unique support mechanism (15) which attaches an end of the drive tube (14) to the horizontal bed. A rack and pinion mechanism (102, 104) is combined with a unique gas spring (108) in order to allow the drive tube (14) to be easily rotated up above the hospital bed with the gas spring (108) providing a power assist to the person lifting the drive tube may be easily rotated up off the bed without undue physical exertion.</p> |
