The discharge disposition, which is comprised of the length of stay, discharge location, and the time that it took to meet the physical therapy discharge criteria, was obtained from the participants’ charts. The authors of this study found that the length of stay was significantly less for the group who did not receive CPM therapy. The use of CPM showed no clinically relevant benefits regarding the active ROM, clinical outcomes or discharge disposition. A total cost of $235.50 was associated the use of CPM per patient. At three months post-surgery, the group that did not receive CPM therapy was found to be closer to neutral compared to the group that received CPM therapy. There were no substantial disparities that were observed between the groups in patient improvement at any time interval. Two patients in the CPM group developed postoperative complications. One patient in the group that did not receive CPM therapy had a deep wound dehiscence and experienced a fall. The no-CPM group also had a shorter length of stay compared to the CPM group, although the difference is not statistically significant. The times required to meet physical therapy discharge
