Functional stability

	A trauma, even if it's just a minor surgical intervention itself, always disrupts proprioception
	Immobility can disrupt proprioception - the longer the immobility, the greater the disruption
	Optimal joint function is feasible only when the nerve-muscle connection is functioning correctly
	Disorders in joint structures affect participating muscles, and vice-versa
	Proprioceptive deficits can only be overcome by an interaction of taking up a stimulus, spreading the stimulus and motor reaction

	The CAMOped device encourages gentle movement from the outset (sense of position, movement and strength are affected)
	Since only the lower leg is guided in the CAMOped device, the patient must stabilize the joint muscles in all directions himself - this is a demanding task from a sensory motor standpoint
	The proprioceptive effect of the CAMOped is also covered in the following studies: Friemert B., et al: CP vs. CPM in the anterior cruciate ligament replacement procedure follow-up study carried out by the Ulm Military Hospital (Bundeswehrkrankenhauses) (2001) Feil S., Professor Dr. Pässler H.H.: Rehabilitation following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament - The use of "CAMO©PED" active motion splints - study conducted by the ATOS Clinic, Heidelberg (2003)
	Movement in the CAMOped device encourages proprioceptive stimulus reception (movement experience)
