The toe CPM Hall-U-Sana® in post-operative rehabilitation

CPM* therapy,
proven for decades:
now also available for the hallux

* CPM Continuous Passive Motion Therapy
** compared to no therapy

  • Shortens convalescence time, speeds return to physiological movement patterns **
  • Prevents stiffening and scarring of the soft tissue layers
  • Promotes joint mobility
  • Safeguards the success of the surgery
  • No individual customisation / adjustment required
  • After a short learning period, can be operated easily by the patient
  • Can be used on the go thanks to integrated Li-ion battery
  • Designed and tested over many years of cooperation with renowned podiatric orthopaedic surgeons and experienced orthopaedic technicians
  • Developed and produced in Switzerland

Easy installation and operation

  • Thanks to the cable-connected control unit with OLED display and illuminated buttons, therapy is under control at all times
  • Recommended therapy: 2 x 25 minutes daily for 30 days
  • Two pre-defined programmes with small and large ranges of motion:
    •  + 20° / – 10° (dorsal/plantar) and
    •  + 40° / – 20° (dorsal/plantar)
  • Gentle warm-up phase: the great toe is constantly deflected further and further in small increments until the programme’s full range of motion is achieved
  • Display of remaining duration of treatment in minutes
  • Immediate reverse on load and pausing by pressing any button

Indications and contraindications

Indications

  • Post-operative treatment after surgery of the 1st ray or any situation in which motion therapy of the MTP1 joint is indicated.
  • Post-operative treatment after surgery of the 1st ray, such as:
    • Hallux valgus surgery
    • Hallux rigidus surgery
    • Surgically treated cartilage defects
    • Surgically treated fractures
    • Joint replacement

Contraindications

  • Inflammatory skin changes that could be additionally irritated by the holding apparatus (e.g. toe strap, foot strap) of the device (e.g. atopic eczema or ulcer)
  • Thin, vulnerable skin (e.g. after long-term cortisone treatment)
  • Unstable fractures
  • Acute arthroses such as active arthroses, arthritis or arthropathies (e.g. gout)
  • Infection of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe
  • Intolerance to mobilisation
  • Excessive swelling

Hallux valgus – tremendous medical
demand: post-operative mobilisation
to prevent stiffening

Deformation of the great toe, also known as hallux valgus, is the most common deformity of the lower extremities. 23% of 18- to 65-year-olds and over 35% of those older than 65 years have hallux valgus, with 10 times more women being affected than men. After surgery, between 7% and 38% of patients experience limited mobility of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe (MTP1). Studies confirm that physical movement therapy in post-operative rehabilitation significantly increases mobility. To date, there has been no simple mobilisation solution in post-operative rehabilitation following hallux valgus surgery.

Studies

The effectiveness of passive mobilisation and continuous passive motion devices in post-operative therapy is confirmed
