In order to evaluate the therapeutic effect of continuous passive motion (CPM) on the outcome of TMJ meniscectomy, chewing movement was analyzed before surgery and six months after surgery in 31 patients receiving CPM (CPM group), 26 patients without CPM (non-CPM group), and in ten normal subjects. The surgical procedure consisted of either total meniscectomy or partial meniscectomy with disk repair. It was found that chewing in patients receiving CPM was closer to the normal range than for patients in the non-CPM group. The results from the CPM group demonstrated chewing parameters for patients with partial meniscectomy returning to the normal range. However, for the patients with total meniscectomy, some parameters remained out of the normal range. From these results, we conclude that CPM has a positive influence on the outcome of TMJ surgery.
为了评估持续被动运动（CPM）对颞下颌关节半月板切除术效果的影响，对31例接受CPM的患者（CPM组）、26例未接受CPM的患者（非CPM组）以及10名正常受试者在手术前和术后6个月的咀嚼运动进行了分析。手术方式包括全半月板切除术或部分半月板切除术并进行盘状修复。结果发现，接受CPM的患者咀嚼情况比非CPM组患者更接近正常范围。CPM组的结果表明，部分半月板切除术患者的咀嚼参数恢复到了正常范围。然而，对于全半月板切除术患者，一些参数仍超出正常范围。从这些结果来看，我们得出结论，CPM对颞下颌关节手术效果有积极影响。
