In my qwest to restore full range of motion for my right knee after acl reconstruction. I had been using a continuous passive motion machine, which bends and unbends my knee to controllable degrees. The machine always seemed slow but at the beginning g that was a good thing. I quickly increased the speed to full throttle and increased the flex to the maximum 110 degrees and the extension to -10. ( the office told me not to go to negative numbers but the padding that holds my leg to the device is not strong enough to hold my knee down and even get it to 0 degrees). Since I beat the machine, I am sure my knee needs the more exacting attention of a physical therapist
